Title practically explains it all except for the method. It collects all the info from the various pages that show the items basic info and steals them. It takes between 5 and 6 minutes to get all the info and will then write the files to GEPrices.csv where you run the script from. You can them import the csv file into most spreadsheet programs, or into most databases, and do whatever you like with them. It then allows you to do more in-depth analytical work with the prices if you collect them over multiple days than RS offers. I will tell you now that it only collects the market price (not the upper and lower limit), the items name and it's ID on the RS site.
I'll also attach a csv file output from today at approx 7:30 pm GMT and the same csv as an xls file with header names for the values.
Enjoy!

Nice!!!
Why is it in a RAR though?

Because I'm evil. Also, the xls file is 270kb and the csv 80kb, so it makes it much smaller, but I'll put up the scar by itself as well since I can see others complaining :)
Edit: Yay, 2 other people checked it out and didn't reply, wewt wewt

Someone once said that EvilChicken! puts the "laughter" in manslaughter. Its true. I though about it today.
But, really really nice work, you ceep coming with theese web-based functions, I wonder what else web-related you've got cooking, I can't wait. Only web-related thing I can do with scar is to make an autoupdater for a script.
But, this looks really interesting, once I get on a windows PC I'll check it out.
Kepp making theese interesting functions. (YES, you heard me. INTERESTING. They actually are. Really.)

Thanks EvilChicken, though I thought you put the "laughter" into KFC?
Anyway, I made an auto upating script when I first got into Scar (do I search for my posts, go to the last page and the 2nd one from the bottom) :)
For my next project, I have no idea, though when I get my name paid for again, I do plan on recreating SRL-Stats with more functionability Script side, such as scripts being able to request stats and also the connect function telling you that your stats are incorrect if it doesn't match details. Though that is probably a few weeks in the future as I've got a lot of other stuff to do (need to help my dad out with a few sites and a lot of holiday homework to do).

Love ya <3
edit: took only 118 seconds to do all the items :p
edit2: Tweak so the file shows up well in notepad, replace line 96 with this:
s := s + items[i].Name + ',' + IntToStr(items[i].id) + ',' + IntToStr(items[i].price) + #13+#10;
Notice the +#10 :)

You all say that, yet I see no new rep :p
I'll add the notepad fix in a minute Markus. Kensaurus, I put it in here because it uses RS's GE section of their site rather than RS itself. Not to mention no one ever goes into the RS Scripts section :)
