Please look @ this page:

Click: 'search for a school', then just hit the search button

What I'd love to do, is to get all the details of each school on the linked
pages.

I want to put them all in one CSV file (like Excel).

To me, it seems like a lot of clicking, copying and pasting.

Surely there must be an easier an automated way. 

I want a solution where with a few minutes set-up, I can get all the information.

Much (but not all) of the information is repeated in this directory:


http://www.ais.vic.edu.au/public/docs/directory_of_member_schools_2005.pdf


You or a GA researcher might have better luck working off this, unless
you absolutely need all the types of information offered at your
original link, but not published in the directory.

Good luck,

Clarification of Question by dddobos-ga on 04 Aug 2005 20:20 PDT

Thanks for pointing that out, but it does not actually answer the
question. I'm interested in doing this in a few places, so I'm
interested in a technical solution.

Speak to a programmer - this is a simple task for that one website. 
How it would work on other sites would depend on details of their
formatting.

I question whether paragraphs of text look good in CSV docs - the
school philosophy entry is sometimes long.  Does this really have to
be in CSV for Excel or would a web page showing it all at once be
acceptable (in which case you could hide long text under another link)
?

Hi, it does need to be as a CSV file in Excel. My solution needs to
show me specifically how to do that.
