yahoo actually does allow stock quote download in .csv format, the url is
http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=MSFT&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv

s=symbol (MSFT, PRU, etc)

The format of the file is
"PRU",88.97,"1/30/2007","4:01pm",0.00,N/A,N/A,N/A,0

Not as fun as "screen scraping" tho :)

That's cool. I'll have to implement it.

I've made the change so that it no longer uses screen scraping, but parses the CSV file instead. Thanks for the tip pcx99.
