Re: Real-time information from other websites

you want to scrape the information off the website, heres some code i use for getting the unreal tournament stats off epic

System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient();
	System.IO.Stream s;
	System.IO.StreamReader sr;
	string returnval;
	

	int nIndexStart = 0;
	int nIndexEnd = 0;
	int nIndex = 0;
	s = wc.OpenRead("http://ut2003stats.epicgames.com");
        sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(s);
	string str = sr.ReadToEnd();
	if(str.IndexOf("Unreal Tournament 2003 Global Stats Summary") > 0)
	        {
	            nIndexStart = str.IndexOf("Unreal Tournament 2003 Global Stats Summary", nIndex);
	            if(nIndexStart > 0 )
	            {
	                nIndex = str.IndexOf("<table ", nIndexStart -200);
	                if(nIndex > 0 )
	                {
	                    nIndexEnd = str.IndexOf("", nIndex+1);
	                }
	            }
        }
	sr.Close();
	s.Close();
	str = str.Substring((nIndexStart), (nIndexEnd + 9) - nIndexStart).Replace("playerstats.php?player","stats.aspx?id");
	Literal1.Text += "<div align='center'>

" + str + "
