Unusual use of search and replace 

I have an unusual need that it looks like Page Grabber might be able to fulfill.  I'll briefly describe the problem and what I need to do.

I drive a technical analysis and trading package with COM automation to produce a number of tables.  This package outputs these as HTML pages, but unfortunately it doesn't quite get the use of a style sheet right.  I store these pages on the server as it.  I want to bring them into a DNN module.  I need to replace the reference to a TABLE tag in the HTML with a reference to class="mytable", where mytable is a CSS definition that is pre-pended on the HTML page.  I then want to include the result in the module.  The original HTML page would be updated daily.

I'm able to use a competing package to inject the HTML file into a module, but it doesn't allow the replacement of the text or the pre-pending of the CSS.  So, I have to run another job step to edit the HTML that is output from the tech. analysis package.

It looks lik Page Grabber may be capable of this in one fell swoop.  I assume that it retrieves the page and does the edit on the fly and will get a new daily page as needed.

Can you confirm that I'm thinking about Page Grabber correctly and that this is worth trying ?

TIA,

Bruce
