Default Screen-scraping texts off web pages and storing data in text files

Hello,

I am trying out AA. But I have limited time to find out if it is suitable to the task I have in mind.

The task is to

(a) screen-scrape the rendered texts of a hierarchy of web pages and
(b) store the text data in each page into individual text files

Input to AA is a default page. Here is a sample set of web pages. (The dashes are just to preserve the indentation.)

abante.com.ph/issue/sep0108/default.htm

----abante.com.ph/issue/sep0108/news02.htm
----abante.com.ph/issue/sep0108/news03.htm
---- ...

----abante.com.ph/issue/sep0108/crimes01.htm
-------abante.com.ph/issue/sep0108/crimes02.htm
-------abante.com.ph/issue/sep0108/crimes03.htm
------- ...

----abante.com.ph/issue/sep0108/abroad01.htm
-------abante.com.ph/issue/sep0108/abroad02.htm
-------abante.com.ph/issue/sep0108/abroad03.htm
------- ...
-----...

The URL will serve as the name of the text file. Files will be stored in a local directory.

Can you help?
Thanks.

Resty

I called a couple of times but I get directed to a voice mail.Is there a way you could show me that AA can handle the screen-scraping task?
Thanks,
