Hi all
I am trying to extract Orkney Island demand and production data from the url https://www.ssen.co.uk/ANM/
when I am using webread(url), It reads the whole source code into 1*97000 char file. Is there any way to extract that specific data or How to convert this char file to perform contains or find function.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
After using “webread(),” you can use “htmlTree()” to convert character array to an HTML tree. Further, you can make use of "findElement()” to find specific elements in the tree.
Also see, “getAttribute()” andextractHTMLText()”.
