curtis Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 You might try breaking the problem down into smaller parts to get a better idea of where to start. Here's an idea for a specific spec. [*]Get a URL to search from the user. [*]Search data at the URL. [*]Search for URI patterns. [*]Store each URI. A tip: at this point, you should check if an entry already exists.
