Lookie: I found a language more powerful and more simple than Visual Basic.
Its called Python, and you may have heard of it. I've been using it for a while as a 'scripting' language.
Here are the main reasons I like it:

Its called Python, and you may have heard of it. I've been using it for a while as a 'scripting' language.
Here are the main reasons I like it:
- It has a very good standard library, with tonnes of other add ons to it made by other people
- You don't have to compile it into an executable. This makes it good for testing.
- You can't forget something like "end;", because it doesn't have any! It uses some thing where it looks at the tabs, etc.
- It is harder to be mixed up with types: there is no type declarations, and casting is simple.
- Any platform! Just send over the *.py files, and your done!

import urllib2
for line in urllib2.urlopen('http://www.runescape.com/title.ws'):
if 'There are currently' in line and 'playing!' in line:
print line
Output:
There are currently ***** people playing!
