Grab text data?

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to build a calculator for a game...but I'm stuck on the extracting part. I don't really know how to go about it (so if you know of a tutorial/handbook please link), but how I would I extract this data:

 

//data to extract
$name = "Robin hood hat"
$currentprice = "3.3m"
$change = "+11.5k"
//display
echo $name
echo $currentprice
echo $change

 

from: http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/results.ws?query=robin hood hat

 

I know about get_file_contents and doing it line by line...but that turns into a pain with many things to grab. Is there a way of grabbing it by table definition similarly to the way Google Docs does?

 

Google Docs link format: =Index(ImportHtml("http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/results.ws?query=Robin hood hat", "table", 2),2,4)

 

This goes to the 2nd table, 2nd row, and 4th column for the "Change" data.
