...without having to do any programming. lynx really is a powerful tool. It is much more then just a handy little web browser. IIRC it was origionally designed as a front end to a library information system.

Unfortunately it doesn't handle tables well. You might have to massage the data a little like removing everthing except the table that you are looking for. Remember head, tail, cut, awk, sed, and many others are available if you need to cut out unecessary data before using a regex to get what you want.
