Happy Harvester 2.5.3.12

Happy Harvester 2.5.3.12 offers an effective tool which helps you to can extract what you have searched for Yahoo, Google or a business directory on the web, and store it in a delimited file format. Once your data has been saved, you can import the data in Microsoft Excel or any other database program.

Before you can extract the data, you have to analyse the HTML source you want to harvest. You can tell the Happy Harvester to extract data between two HTML strings. The (text) data in between will be stored. You can create multiple selection sets and extract for example titles, prices, stock info, etc. With this you could for example query a music CD store for artists, album titles and prices or obtain stock info on a regular basis.

For crawling multiple web addresses you can import a list of urls. Or you can use the url-generator to build a range. This last option can be useful if there is a logical structure in the url using numbers. Many business directories, web-forums and search engine results are using a structured url for querying their databases. Some example profiles are included with Happy Harvester for your inspiration.

Happyharvester lets you format the information in chunks you need: names and adresses in
separate columns for example so you can use them in Excel for further processing. 

HappyHarvester's powerful parser can be used to extract descriptions, names, addresses, titles, prices, stock data, and more. The software can gather data from business directories, forums, search engine results, etc. You can import an url-list or use the url-generator for querying web databases. The intuitive user interface has been designed to get you started in minutes. Let it scan ranges of web pages automatically and harvest the results you need and export the results to for example Excel. And of course it can scan a directory for files and process these to extract data.
