Probably easier to just hire someone online. There is a lot of cheap Indian labor available.
I've never used some, and can never remember what they are, but there are at least 2 sites that you list what you want done & it gets bid on ebay style. Most of the work is from India & they jump all over it.

I figured it wasn't worth trying to learn unless I was gonna actually use the skills on a daily basis, which I wouldn't.
Would it be fairly easy for an experienced programmer to write a program similar to Therx lines feed where I can just enter the books that I use and that update pretty quickly? Thanks for the responses.

BL4E,
Spiders are computer programs that scour web pages.
Scrapers are computer programs that pull information from web pages html source (in your case the lines).
Everyone is spot on in this thread ... not worth learning a language or paying to reinvent the wheel IMO.

I'm a senior software developer, and have a Masters
Degree in Computer Science.
To say that one can become a proficient coder in 2 years,
is like saying one can become a lawyer in 2 years.
The complexity of the code is directly related to the
inherent complexity of the problem being coded.
It can take a lot longer than 2 years to become a good
operating system developer.
But, you could learn visual basic in a matter of weeks...
