looking for a script
i dont know if this is possible but im wanting to have a script that
can read text results from a web page and display them
if you could help me get started since i dont know how to go about doing this

Tcl scripts that connect to and read web content are fairly commonplace.

It is generally achieved by using the http package (supplied by default with Tcl installations).

I recommend you download a few such scripts from Egghelp Tcl archive and see how they work.

The tricky part is using regular expressions to seperate out the bits you want from the page.
