New to programming. If this is too basic I do apologize.
As a more complex project to hone my budding skills with I am trying to build a price scanner and reporting feature that waits for new text on a webpage such as sale,discount,etc and read the price and send that information back to me.
Can you help me get pointed in the right direction?
I think, you need to do some research on scraping.
