Schloobydooby Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have been trying to write a c## console app/excel macro/batch to go out and acquire and catalog meta titles based off an imputed URL, into an excel/XML/access database. I have little experience with cataloging in this way. But never the less I an currently tasked with cataloging 6000+ URLs into an excel spread sheet. I have tried to write it my self, but i mainly get suck trying to figure out how to get it to go to a URL, then pull off Meta titles (which I'm not even sure how to get to)and then place then into a sting in order to output the meta titles into a database. I truly would like to not manually type out 100,000's of meta titles so any help, recommendations, or comments are greatly appreciated. thank you, Schloobydooby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
