Information from screen
Hi,

Just wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction on this one.

What I'm basically trying to do is write a program to grab information off a webpage which is continually updating itself. I dont want to say take millions of screen shots, I just want the program to constantly monitor a particular part of the screen and store information.

Basically Im not necessarily looking for the cleverest way of doing this, rather a way which I can program myself. My background is that I have a functional knowledge of C programming for scientific purposes but very little knowledge of computers themselves. For instance I can write programs but dont even know how to take information in from the screen.

Thanks for any help.

screen-ir

SCREEN-IR(1)							   Axel Beckert 						      SCREEN-IR(1)

NAME

       screen-ir -- Interactively Reattach to GNU Screen sessions

SYNOPSIS

       screen-ir [additional screen options ...]

DESCRIPTION

       screen-ir uses iSelect(1) to interactively reattach to running screen sessions.

       Use the screen option -d or -D if you want to reattach to attached screen sessions.

       Use the screen option -x if you want to attach to screen sessions without detaching them.

FILES

       screen-ir sources ~/.screen-irrc if it exists. It recognizes two variables:

       The contents of SCREEN_OPTIONS is given to screen(1) as command-line options. Default is -r. Use e.g. -rd if you always want to reattach to
       already attached screen sessions.

       The contents of ISELECT_OPTIONS is given to iselect(1) as command-line options. Default is empty. Use e.g. -f if you always want to see the
       interactive selection, even if there's only one screen session running, i.e. you have no choice.
