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.

I toyed with it a bit today.  First I tried to use some existing tools, and they weren't very friendly.  Then I tried to automate logging in and pulling the data automatically, but they use way too much javascript nonsense.  I finally just ended up playing with a script that would require copying and pasting the page output first, but I can do some neat things with it.  The interesting part will be figuring out how to make it user friendly.

Side note:  Just got the platinum in Eat Lead.  Hurrah.

Congrats on the Eat Lead platinum.

Glad to here that it sounds like it's possible to do. I don't mind haven't to do some of the tasks manually, like logging into the page and copying and pasting the contents of the page into another doc or tool. Are you using any tools to make the script? Was it fairly quick to make? In terms of making it user friendly, what did you have in mind?

Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just really interested in taking advantage of this new system :)
