Extract weather forecast from webpage

[tangjh88]

Hello,

Any one know can i extract weather forecast from webpage by using LabView. The website is : http://www.met.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3406&Itemid=1930&lang=malay

I need the weather data for my control algorithm in LabView. Thank you.

Unless the forecast is embedded in a graphic, and it does not appear to be on the linked website, getting the forecast from the webpage is just a text parsing exercise.  You can use the HTTP client VIs to fetch your data.  Have fun!

Hello DFGray,

Thank you. But can you explain how to use HTTP client? Is that similar to open, read and close?

The LabVIEW help is always helpful!  Yes, it is an open, read, close sequence.

The attached VI is in LabVIEW 2010.
