screen scrapers?

[wb]

At least I think that's what they are called.

I'm looking to get data from a programme but it's not a webpage so it wont let me cut and paste.

Basically, it's a well known ratings provider for racing and I update the database daily. It's mainly numbers and I need to transfer them to excel but I don't want to manually type them.

Actually, this is perfect for my needs:

However, you only get a trial and then they want you to buy it. Basically, I'm after a free version of the above!

I've tested them all at some point and that one is the most powerful. The bits of code you may need are easy to understand.
