read information off website and store in excel file
<p>I am trying to build this application that when provided a .txt file filled with isbn numbers will visit the isbn.nu page for that isbn number by simply appending the isbn to the url www.isbn.nu/<em>your isbn number</em>.</p>

<p>After pulling up the page, I want to scan it for information about the book, and store that in an excel file. </p>

<p>I was thinking about creating a file stream of the url in Java, but I am not really sure how to extract the information from the html page. Storing the information will be done using the JExcel Java package. </p>

<p>My best guess would be using javascript to extract the information, but I don't know how to call the javascript from my java program.</p>

<p>Is my idea plausible? if not, what do you guys suggest I do. </p>

<p>my goal: retrieve information from an html page and store it in an excel file for each ISBN in a text file. There can be any number of isbn's in a text file. </p>

<p>This isn't homework btw, I am simply doing this for an organization that donates books to Sudan. Currently they have 5 people cataloging these books manually and I am one of them. </p>
