Saving Website data into exel

[degeable]

Hey guys,

sorry for my english but i am looking for a programm to save some website data into an exel file.
I was wondering how to write a programm that can login and copy the needed data form the html source code... Can i do this in c++? i know how to read and write data from files, i just need to know how to get it from a website.

greetings

It probably can be done in C++ but you need quite a few third-party libraries to do it.
It would be much easier to do it with .NET.
What is the url of the website ?
What data do you want ?

If the data is rather simple, you can dump to text (CSV style) and pull to excel directly, with very minimal effort.

Writing a true excel file needs either Microsoft excel sdk libraries (somewhere in .net, not sure exactly which ones you need) or possibly borrowing some libraries from openoffice or whatever the current free excel project is.

Excel xlsx files are a binary mess of loads of things from fonts to data types to charts and colors. Supports encryption and macros and other junk too. Its a mess in there, that is why you need to use a library to do it.
