Thanks for your efforts. In the meantime I learned that this feature is
in the pipeline... :-)

As an aside, I scripted a Google search the other day and would get
automatically booted off after about 200 consecutive searches (in a
loop of 1,300). *(I got that page stating that I looked like a virus
and I needed to insert the text from the picture in order to continue
searching). *I resolved the issue by deleting the google related
search cookies in the Temporary Internet Files folder after each 200th

Hi, thanks! That sounds interesting!

Do you script the Internet Explorer or use the Microsoft.XMLHTTP object?

Thanks and best regards,

Martin,

I scripted IE (much like the code Joel provided in the thread) and
then used the FileSystemObject to delete the Google search cookies in
order to prevent the Google "error" page from appearing. (In order to
get a sense of timing, it would take about 8 minutes to loop through
the ~1,300 searches, but this time includes the time it took to delete
the cookies every 200th time and the time to "get" the data off the
search page). If I'm getting stock price information off of say
Yahoo!, then I use XMLHTTP because it is much faster than scripting
IE. (But then again, I don't find myself automating the Internet that
often either).

Best,

Matt
