Extract text from html

[shrive22]

Hello I want to be able to extract specific text that is enclosed in unique tags in an html file I will download from the web. Is it possible to write a small program to do this and then copy the selected text into a text file?
I would also like this program to download the page and extract the text about every hour or so.

thanks

Yes, almost anything is possible with C++.
To do that you'd either have to write a custom class to parse the HTML tags for the ones you want and extract the text that way; or if you can find one that someone already wrote, it might be easier to use that.
