data mining

[chicane]

Wouldn't it be illegal or some breach of copywrite? I seem to recall that yell.com got the hump over people doing a similar thing with their online data and (possibly, for I do have brains of jam and a memory to match) successfully sued.

Yes - Jobserve have a clause in their T's & C's that specifically warns against doing this.

Nice bit of VBA though, duly filed...

It's pretty simple in excel

Sub get_data()
 
i = 1
Do While i < 20000


strg = "URL;http://www.jobserve.com/RecruiterDirectoryListing.aspx?id=" & i
 With Sheet3.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        strg, Destination:=Sheet3.Cells(1, 1))
        .Name = "RecruiterDirectoryListing.aspx?id=" & i
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .BackgroundQuery = True
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
        .WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
        .WebTables = "7"
        .WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
        .WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
        .WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
        .WebDisableDateRecognition = False
        .WebDisableRedirections = False
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
    
Sheet2.Cells(i, 1).Value = Sheet3.Cells(4, 2).Value
Sheet3.Range("a1:e10").Delete
i = i + 1

Loop
End Sub

Gets the first 20000 for you anyways but I'm sure one of the techies can improve on it

Yup. He's just been banned.

Rock on!

I felt he had quite good troll potential...

You're going to annoy people if you carry on cross-posting like this.

You could have a look at Teleport Pro or similar web-site crawling tools, but unless you're technical you're going to end up in a mess.

You're going to annoy people if you carry on cross-posting like this. You may not like the answers people have given in the other forum, but that's no reason to post (more or less) the same question here. It's the same people that read this forum.

There's no off the self software available to do what you're asking. You will need to get somebody technical involved as Spacecadet has already offered to do.
