Hello everyone, I thank you for your time. I am completely new to the field so I apologize for any ignorance. I am trying to write a program using python that will go into a university web-page and retrieve all the ISBNs for books being used the following semester that fit certain criteria. I believe Python can do this but like I said I know almost nothing about computer programming. I believe this can be VERY easily done from what I've seen. If someone could just give me a starting point or at least let me know if Python can do this. Again, thank you for your time!!!

Since you have no idea, I would suggest using something like links
use "links -dump www.URL" to download and save as a text file which you can then parse and extract whatever data you want. -
Python can almost certainly do this.
You'll need the urllib and urllib2 libraries, and possibly the regular expression library. And a bunch of hours. Good luck!Comment
