Vb08 / Grab Data From Website
I have a web page that displays small number between 0 and 1500 (e.g 4.55 or 12.01 etc.). This number changes every 1 to 300 seconds. There’s no HTML code in the page – just the number.
I am looking for a small, simple app that will:
1.) grab this number from my PHP page (http://www.example.com/page.php?id=UNIQUE_CODE) every 30-600 seconds (user defined).
2.) displays it
3.) compare “current”, “min” and “max” values
4.) plays sound alert (.wav) if “current” < “min” OR “current” > “max”
One picture should be worth more than 1000 words here so take a look at this image – http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/8761/app01aj.jpg
And you should be able to know what I’m looking for.
“Min” and “Max” are user defined (text box?) – they will start with 0 value after added and user will change them later (so make sure there’s no alert if the “min” “max” is 0.
I want to be able to monitor up to 7 (seven) different results.
Source code (usable/changeable in VB 2008 Express) required.
