Simple Web Crawler
Hi all,
I'm new to C++ but not to programming. I'm trying to create a console application where I would enter the URL of a specific stock/financial message board. The program would then monitor the specific message board for mentions of stocks and keep a tally each time the stock is mentioned. My question is how to open a connection and get the data/html code which can be parsed. I have read up as best I could and it seems the best option is to use win api but I have no idea where to start. I should mention this is not a school project.
