I would like to take a number (lake level) off of another webpage and put it on my web page. The page is provided as public information by our local utility and is located at: http://www.dukepower.com/community/lakes/lakelevels/levelsdisplay.asp?norman. The number I want to take is in a column under “Current Level”.
I have poked around a little but have not found a way to do this, does anyone know of a method I could use? They do not appear to provide it in any type of data file.
Big thanks go out to Steve (Nikoshepherd) for finding a way to do this. He has created a program that goes out to the webpage, retrieves the current data, and then places that data in an image that we came up with. WD is set to run that program several times a day and then upload the results:
I am also looking for a way to grab data from a web page and displaying it on my web page. Is the program referred to a universal program that is available for use?
