An alert based on web page content ?

[doggiesnot]

Hi, folks.
I already tried unsuccessfully to search previous threads...

Anyone know how to get a 700WX to scan a single web page every 30 minutes for occurrences of specific words and send an email if it finds them?

Example: If my kid's school decides to close early, they notify parents on their webpage. When the words "early dismissal" appear, I'd like some sort of notification.


Seems like something that's possible and probably has already been discussed... I'm sure this can be useful for ebay shoppers too.

Thanks!

Actually... I don't think I've even heard of that for regular PCs...

Sounds cool though.

I've written PERL scripts to do exactly that, using the wget() function. I wonder if MortScript has any similar functions...
