HOnza Koudelka, Software Division Manager of 24U, says:

"For a customer project I need to download data from several websites, import the data into a FileMaker database, parse the HTML, and extract thousands of records from the imported data every day. I am using Toolbox Plug-In to trigger curl to download the web pages, SimpleFile to import the downloaded files, and then Toolbox Plug-In again to help with fast parsing and preprocessing of the data. The text merging feature of Toolbox lets me even recognize graphical symbols such as smilies and translate them to text equivalents."
