    Question Best language for automated post scrape?

    I want to do a little post snatching for wp blogs and asian bbs (login). What language would you recommend me to attempt this in?

    I was thinking php, perl, or python but I'm open to others. With preference I hope to just cron the script later on.

    Any favourite packages( XML parser ? ) for organizing blog posts and going through html?

    Thanks

    Simple HTML DOM Sucks! Don't use this crap. DOM which is much more powerful and comes bundled with PHP.

    Alright when I have time I'll look into DOM and the php implementation. Thanks SalmanAbbas007, didn't know you couldn't parse an html page with regex.
