@ Everyone: Does anyone have any experience with creating macros or scripts to extract data from a web page? Having a script or macro to collect everyones trophy information would be a HUGH time saver for me, and would allow me to look into collecting and presenting additional trophy information, like everyone's overall percentage complete, etc.

Wasn't yl_ksa working on an app for facebook before? Maybe he knows how to do this.

Yeah, he's created a few facebook applications. I'll PM him to see if he has experience with scripts.

I will also take a look today if I have time and remember.  Pulling the data from the page automatically might be an issue, but worst case, I should be able to create something that can take data copied off the page and compile it... I shall see.

Edit:  Are you talking about the info on https://secure.eu.playstation.com/psn/mypsn/friends/ ?

Thanks for taking a look into this, fadetoone.

Yes, that's the page with everyone's information on it. Ideally, I'd like to be able to log into that page, then start a macro or script that would run through the entire page to collect the PSN ID, Bronze count, Silver count, Gold count, Platinum count of each person on the friends list. Then dump that information into Excel or a csv file.
