We need someone to build a parser to automatically extract data from 5 different web sites. Sample URL's for each web site are attached. You should extract all data elements from the data table. Each parser should be generic enough so that the parser can be applied to other pages on the web site which have the same structure.
The output should be stored in tab-delimited files with each column representing a data point for a record. Data for each web site should be output in a separate file.
The program should also be able to read a text file with URL's for a site and parse them.
At the end of the project you will need to deliver the code along with the regular expressions which extract the data. We will need one regular expression for each data element extracted.
