Why use WebTable?
- It can be difficult to transfer web table data into user data. Sometimes a
single web page has many tables which makes it even more difficult. The WebTable
utility helps automate the transfer by translating a saved web page file into a
set of text files that be imported into a spreadsheet or database. Each web page
table is translated to a separate file with an associated caption or cell(1,1)
text for identification. The web table information is filtered and translated
into printable text. WebTable can display the contents of each translated file
for proper identification. WebTable automation improves the accuracy of
information transfer and eliminates the tedious job of manual data transfer. Top Home
How do I use
WebTable?
 | First save the web page from Netscape Navigator™ or Microsoft® Internet
Explorer using the menu command "File SaveAs" (remember the file
name and where it is saved). |
| Now start WebTable with Start | Programs | WebTable |
| Click the "Read Web File" button and browse to open the
previously saved file |
| The output files will be saved in the listed output director. If you want
to output to a different directory, edit the output directory text, or click
the "Output Directory" button to browse to a directory |
| Click the "Start" button to extract the tables. The tables in
the web page file are extracted and saved with the same file name appended
with an index and with a .txt extension. For example, if the web file is
"Sample.htm" then the extracted table files will be
"Sample1.txt", "Sample2.txt", .... |
| The items in the text file are separated with a "Tab" or a
"Comma" as selected by the option box. Comma separated items can
be enclosed in "quotes" or only "alpha" items in
"quotes" by option |
| The Table files are listed as they are extracted with Cols, Rows, txt
filename, and table caption or cell(1,1) |
| WebTable extracts tables within tables first and then extracts the outer
tables |
| A table file can be displayed by double-clicking the file name. |
| The extracted txt files can now be imported into a data program such as
Excel.
 | From Excel, browse for files with Files of Type Text Files (*.prn,
*.txt, *.csv). |
| Open the extracted text file (e.g. Sample1.txt) |
| This starts the Text Import Wizard. Finish the wizard steps to import
the file. |
|
| The WebTable window can be sized and positioned for the best display. |
| The options and environment are saved when WebTable exits |
| WebTable can be called from a batch file with a filename (including path)
as an argument. WebTable exits to the command processor after processing the
file. ErrorLevel 2 is passed to the command processor if the file is not
found |

What is Shareware? -
WindowsUtilities programs are distributed as shareware. Shareware provides you
with software you can "try before you buy", while rewarding the
efforts of the developers. First download and try the shareware
program. If you want to keep the program then buy and register the
program. The opportunity to try before you buy is the ultimate guarantee of a
product's quality and usefulness. The price of shareware is often lower because
it does not have to cover marketing costs. When you support shareware, the
shareware concept continues to work and you continue to get "try before you
buy" software. Top Home
