Tool to extract text from HTML

Question

Having a website, I'd like to extract content from it. So far I've been using Regex in Notepad++, but

1. we all know we should not use Regex to parse HTML
2. due to a redesign of the website, getting the Regex right is almost impossible

I have read about possible answers 1, 2, 3 and 4 but they all boil down to Python+Scrapy or JSoup.

1. I'm looking for a tool for non-programmers which
2. allows the user to select elements visually (not necessarily in rendered HTML, could also be in HTML source)
3. constructs a list of "XPaths" (or similar, XML XPath understanding is available)
4. can later re-run the extraction without GUI in a scheduled job

Other requirements

1. Windows or Ubuntu
2. commercial solution is ok

Answer 1

tool for non-programmers

constructs a list of "XPaths"

Almost contradictive requirements, yet still soome prominent scraping software are good in both. See the list of them:

• Content Grabber - rerun a project as an standalone scraping agent.
• CloudScrape - rerun thru API
• Helium Scraper - schedule through Windows Task Scheduler
• Screen Scraper - schedule through Windows Task Scheduler
• Web Content Extractor - schedule through Windows Task Scheduler

Their short descriptions.
