Web Parser Primer help

[Dawson]

I have been following the web parser primer by Jeffrey Morley to make a stock exchange script. I have a working script but need a bit of help to finish it off.

here is what I have:

The problem is when I get to the change part, this value could either go up or go down which means the source code changes. I have worked around this to get the value but how do I determine if it has gone up or down and show the appropriate up.gif or down.gif

example source code if value goes up:

Code: Select all

<span id="yfs_c10_csco" class="yfi_quote_price"><img width="10" height="14" border="0" src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/fi/03rd/up_g.gif" alt="Up"> <b class="yfi-price-change-up">0.60</b></span> 
<span id="yfs_p20_csco" class="yfi_quote_price"><b class="yfi-price-change-up"> (0.19%)</b></span>

example source code if value goes down:

Code: Select all

<span id="yfs_c10_csco" class="yfi_quote_price"><img width="10" height="14" border="0" src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/fi/03rd/down_r.gif" alt="Down"> <b class="yfi-price-change-down">0.13</b></span>
<span id="yfs_p20_csco" class="yfi_quote_price"><b class="yfi-price-change-down"> (0.61%)</b></span>

I'd measure those two. Substitute them for + and - if you want.
