Hi,i am trying to use a script to pull data from a webpage,for example,mayb news or weather or sports update etc..I kno it can be done using LuaSocket,but i dont have access to any reference on *how* to use it in scripts or any sample code.Please guide me...

inshort,the intended use is ,if sum1 types !news on mainchat,then the top 10 news headlines are pm-ed to him...and no..i dont want RSS feeds.. :)
