Abstract
A method and a computer-readable medium are provided which perform screen scraping via grammar induction. The computer-readable medium stores instructions of the method, the instructions directing a computer processor to intercept display information transmitted to a computer-implemented display device representing information stored in a data source; induce a grammar via statistical analysis of the intercepted display information; provide the grammar to a parser-generator to generate a parser corresponding to the induced grammar; and perform screen scraping using the generated parser.
