Help with screen scraping

[Florida Man]

Hi,
I need to write an application (VB script/ASP) that programmatically
operates a web site. In other words I would like to create my own interface
and use data from existing web sites. For example, the application will have
"to","from", "departaure" and "return" date fields that will be filled out by
an end user. The application then searches expedia.com, grabs results, and
displays it on my own screeen. Then a user selects flights and the
application routes the request back to expedia to book flights. The
confirmation number generated by expedia is displayed on my screen, etc., you
got the idea...
I am looking for some samples that can do this.
Thanks in advance.

You can try SW Explorer Automation

to create an automation API to any Web application. SWEA supports
frames, html dialogs, popup dialogs, java script and wil work from
ASP.NET. It allows visually extract a Web page data using XPATH.
