Most of us know that building client lists can be tedious and time consuming. Today I found myself going over a member directory wondering if I should use copy-paste to import contact information into Outlook, or create a webbot that would automate part of the task. I read "Webbots, Spiders, and Screen Scrapers" by Michael Schrenk a long time ago, but had never build a webbot until today, simply because I had no use for them. Using the LIB_parse and LIB_http libraries I wrote a simple script which did most of the work for me. After all this time I had found an application for things to do with a webbot.
