Need a program
I currently work for a pet warehouse in the US and we need to get a csv of all products etc from it so it can be set up in froogle, shopzilla etc. The company that hosts it isnt very helpful and there is no option to download a list of everything.
I was wondering if there is a program that will crawl the site and create a csv of all the products rather than us having to sit and type them all in? There are over 600 products.

Well - the data must be stored in a database. And no matter what database format its in most likey sql server you can extract an MDB file which can be exported to a CSV file. Who ownes the data????

A mob of not very helpful tech support people run it. It is terrible, every time we touch the nav bar it replicates itself infinitely and tech support has to use firefox browser to fix it.
I will beat some heads tomorrow when they come online and make them email it to me, hopefully. Was just hoping we could do it our selves rather than deal with smart *** tech support guys.

Well that was no joy. They have no facility to export data at this time. Grrr I hope there is a program out there that will do it or I have a lot of typing to do.

sounds like they are giving you a line to get out of a couple clicks of work... lol
do you have any idea how the data is stored right now?
do you have a link to the site?

Doesnt matter now thanks. I ended up copying and pasting the entire product list then inserting all the prices, urls for the products and images one click at a time. I suppose I'll never have to do it again. As we add products I'll update the spreadsheet.
