Programmable Web Search Software / API

I am looking for a screen / network cleaning solution that allows me to retrieve data from a web page as follows:

  • I manually select the element, table / paragraph through some user interface / workbench.
  • I use a specific tag and template based element to repeat the task.

Something like writing a macro in excel, and then programming and parameterizing the code. The reason I would like something like that is to improve performance for the many websites we scratch.

You can use Rebol, which has a really good parsing mechanism in the language itself in less than 1 Mo! http://reboltutorial.com/index.php?s=parse&x=Search

You can interact with C # through cmdline, PHP, Java ... (examples in C # and PHP on the site also)
