I have an interest in writing a matlab program that goes to a url and searches a search box for an item.
these items have listed prices under them in text format (doesn't seem to be an image). I want the program to look at this part of the webpage and store data of price values listed under the item.
is there any way to do this using a function i can download? i have basic knowledge of matlab but am not proficient. If i can program the script to store data, I can easily write the rest of my code.
