After my post on the tools and methods for screen scraping, I was on the wild internet again to find some more interesting and useful tools, given the travails I’ve undergone through to obtain a machine readable format of the ICD-9- CM codes. I still wonder why, even in this age, people think only of themselves and don’t even give a dime to the stupid machines working that hard to make our life simpler. Any ways, here we go :
- No prize for guessing this : screen_scraping at wikipedia
- Which takes me through along some more threads
- The screen-scrapeable blog, in particular this post
- Screen-scraping in perl (!, I cannot expect more given that I like to ’speak’ in perl)
- And java
- I digress a lot, see web-mining and the threads from there.
