I was curious if there was a program that can parse through a bunch of tables in HTML format and then store that data somehow, maybe in an Excel spreadsheet, so I can work with it. The HTML pages I have right now are class schedules, and I want it all organized by time and day of the week, so I can pick my courses. I know it's sort of lame, but I was just wondering if it could be done, because that would be interesting and fun to play around with.

Thanks,
- Eli

Try copying and then pasting the data into a Notepad .txt file and then open that .txt file with Excel.
There is a little more to it but that is the general idea.
