First day on the list question

Hi guys

Just joined the list.

I'd like to find a way to cherry pick some data from web pages.
The web pages tend to hold still and keep a consistent format
while the data on them changes to / in the form...

Item		Qty		15digitSku

1		39		15digitSku#here

2		197		15digitSku#here

3		40		15digitSku#here

4		38		15digitSku#here

There is no need to do anything with the data directly... just take
it from "Point A" and move it to "Point B"... ideal choice being to
port them straight into an OpenOffice spreadsheet / database.

It's ridiculous to try to do that by hand.  I need to do a lot of these
... perhaps currently about the same 500 items each day... even
perhaps updating the same list more than once in a day.

Can Applescript do this?

Thanks
Don
