Windows spreadsheet download from Internet

[sedawk]

Hi,

I need to download a data file in Windows Excel spread sheet from the Internet. The spread sheet gets updated with some frequency incrementally. So besides downloading it, it is better just to download the updated part of the file.

Here is what I manually do: go to that link, e.g.,

http://www.whereismydata.com/datasheet

click the icon "download to spreadsheet", and let the old file gets overwritten. Since then, I can process the data.

I browse discussion here and find LWP may be a good fit. But it doesn't seem be able to hadle the icon-clicking part. Can someone provide a pointer to this problem?

Thanks in advance.

LWP!

The icon to download your datasheet is probably just a form that you will need to investigate and figure out what values you need to pass to get it to download. It won't "click" on it but will pass it the same values as if it was clicked on.
