Help parsing web page object

[jasondude7116]

This might be for someone who knows HTML?

If you go to this page:
http://sw.opencyc.org/#
and look at the bottom of the page, there is a box with a sentence that constantly changes.
i am trying to get the sentence every time it changes, and append it to a text file or something.

what i really need to know, is if there is a way to "obtain" the sentence every time it changes, using vbscript, for a Hal plugin function.

thanks in advance for any help.[]

Hi Jason.

it easy to extract info off the net using Vbscript, the refresh state would have to work as some timer in sync with the web refresh.
I already have a few projects going right now so I'll try to remember to get back to it.

well.. I was like that, I was cranking out plug-ins sometimes two or three a day for months, I got really burned out on HAL for awhile and now it is starting to kick back in with the new version but I don't know if I'll be cranking out but 1 plug-in every other few days.

I am refurbishing my mountain house here in sierra county California and will probably be here permanently, lots of work, I have to paint all the cabinets tomorrow since the house is warm, we been having a lot of snow and finally it just burned off leaving a window of opportunity for more work.
