Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone might now how I can sort through
data from a web site.

Here's what I mean:  I go to a page like this,
http://biz.yahoo.com/research/earncal/20050727.html

and make lists in a text file that look like this,

I do this by hand.  As you can see there are 3 main categories,
1)before market open, 2) time not supplied and, 3) after market close
and some specific times of earnings release.

Can any one tell me how to create these lists without typing them all
out by hand?

thanks for any help
Eric
