Does anyone know how to scrape a webpage in pascal? I'm trying to run a local php site from simba.

Thank you!



Answer:
Ends up that for accessing a web connection you can just use getPage(URL: string); super simple, works great!

Technically, it is possible, but not practical, as there are too many variables to account for. Color…has its limits with various fonts and shapes in the picture.

I think this is what you are looking for? Web scraping is just getting detailed info of a web page using a software right?

Well, I'm just trying to open a connection to the web page. It's a blank page, I just want to access the page to get the PhP code to run. Hope that clarify's my question.
