web scraping

hi,
I need to find out how to get data from an HTML page. My reasearch shows
it's called "web Scraping". I saw on Google that I can use Wininet or the
XMLHTTP. Any ideas how I can do the following:
I want to go to
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.a...&mp=84&loc=101, and parse
out certain data (like price and description).
can someone give me a clue of how to start, or does someone have a code
sample that does similar.

thanks
rafael
