Take a look at the indy components, they are the easiest to use. (and there are plenty of examples)

hi

you just need to download the page to your "CurrentDirectory" (or the program's directory), and do some text manipulations on it.

the way i see the text, you just need to look for the spaces(" ").
once you do that, you'll get lines of text build of 3 numbers separated by a comma.
then split the those lines.
i think it would be easiest to work with TStringList.

so here is an example of what i mean:
you have this text -
170632,1579,22742577 197483,82,2546825 177651,80,2087021 286001,83,2767264

then you make it:
170632,1579,22742577
197483,82,2546825
177651,80,2087021
286001,83,2767264

and then make it :
170632
1579
22742577

197483
82
2546825

177651
80
2087021

286001
83
2767264


after doing that, you will have full control of every piece of text you want

hope i helped, and sorry for my broken english :)
