command line streaming URL scraping tool

[Rob Harris]

This would make a good php project,  you can do so much with that and it 
looks like the sort of thing it would do best.  If there is a commonality 
of url form,  it owuld give PHP something to look for;  this requires more 
detail, but don't look too big a challenge to do. One would presume a shell 
account or access to hosting in which you can run php on an Apache server; 
or if it comes to it,  grab a free copy of XAMPP  as a batch-file-drive 
Apache server for Windows.  There's other versions of course, but you hardly 
need it for Linix as  it should be there by default.
