Grabbing Text From a Website

Kyle Murphy

8/21/2008 7:35:00 AM

Let's say I wanted to make a program that traversed all 125 products on
this page:http://www.menshealth.com/eatthis/Best-Groc..., grabbed
the text from each one, and compiled them into a list in a text file.

First off, is this even possible? If so, can you give me some links or
advice that would aid me in this grand project?

Thank you!
