Description

I am looking for a talented individual to help me automate a process I currently have to do manually each day.

At the moment I do the following:

1) I visit a particular website, and then copy/paste some text from the website into an excel spreadsheet.

2) I then run a macro in the excel spreadsheet which sorts the data into a particular oder and also deletes some of the text which is not needed.

3) I then copy/paste the data from this excel spreadhseet into my own webpage and upload it via ftp each morning.

Now this only takes around 5 minutes to do, but it would be lovely if there was a nice script which could perform this automatically. Ideally so that the script extracts this information, then updates my site automatically

Now I am completely open to suggestions on how to best acheive this. There may even be an "off-the-shelf" solution to this that I do not know about?

The winning bidder will leave a private message and explain to me excatly how they intend to acheive this.

If you do not bother, and simply leave a message along the lines of, "we are a company in xxxx with many talented employees, and here is a list of completed work we have acheived...." then your bid will be ignored.

As I say, the winning bidder will be able to express exactly how he or she intends to acheive this task
