The attachment includes the java source and the jar file for SpyderFilter v 1.0. It is a Java command line utility which means you have to go to Start menu ->Run and type cmd to get a command prompt. For XP command prompt, there is a Mark/Paste option under edit menu
if you click the tiny C:\ icon at your upper left hand side of the command prompt. You might want to use it to cut and paste stock list.
1) You need to install Java Runtime Environment if you don't already have it:

2) To run the Java jar file:
java -jar SpyderFilter.jar
I just want something to work. I did not really streamline the code so it would go out to the web multiple times to fetch the data. That's why it is a little slow.
3) Enter the stock symbols either on the same line or separate lines. Doesn't matter. BUT YOU HAVE TO HIT ENTER AGAIN TO TERMINATE THE INPUTS!!!
Here is a sample run output:
C:\>java -jar SpyderFilter.jar
SpyderFilter version 1.0 by martys (c) 2005
