How can I harvest craigslist email addresses from a main page which has hyperlinks that then open actual Craigslist.com postings, which contain reply to email addresses? (See screenshot)
How can I harvest craigslist.com email addresses from a main page which has hyperlinks that then open actual Craigslist.com postings, which contain reply to email addresses? (See screenshot)
This would be called data mining.
For example, I want to quickly compile a list (text, CSV, TSV, or any other standardized format) of all of the email addresses that are contained in the hyperlinks off of this main Craigslist.com website address:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sad/
This main webpage then has several hyperlinks that open when clicked on (such as this one: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/sad/1421691671.html) that contain the email address hyperlinks (in blue and underlined).
I need to be able to harvest (or compile) a list of all of these email addresses into a file that I can then copy and paste into Outlook to send out a copy of my resume to 10 different email addresses that I have copied and pasted from the text file which contains the list of tabulated email addresses.
Please refer to the screenshots.
Can someone provide me with some kind of script that will allow me to do this?
Or, does anyone know of a specific program that I will be able to use to do this?

I downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition.
However, I am confused as to where I can copy and paste the code that you have written into MS Visual C# and then compile it into a program.
Can you please provide me with a quick list of how I can copy and paste the code that you have written into MS Visual C# and then compile it into a program?
Also, is the Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition able to compile code into an actual working file, or are you then only able to run the program by using Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition?
Thank you once again for writing this code for me. I will award you the full 500 points. I have examined the code and have seen the different areas that you have mentioned that I might need to tweak, modify, or customize in order for the program to do what I want it to do.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize asking a question like this violated the terms and agreements of Exprts-Exchange.
I simply wanted to compile a listing of potential employers who I could send me resume to without having to manually open each individual posting.
I won't use this code to send spam.

I'm just looking for an easier way to get all of the email adresses from each Craigslist.com posting imported into a file.
This will save a whole lot of time compared to me having to manually open each entry and then copy and past each email adress into a file.
