The comparison data for Laptops has been loaded to http://www.pricecap.co.uk and boy that was a slog!

Must be the worst part of publishing this site is the fact that the data is a nightmare to sort.
Over 1500 entries loaded for laptops so a fair few, but again I am finding it very difficult to sort this data before I load it into the database.

It took me a week to sort this data, which I think is slow, but I will have to persist until I get some useful tools to aid me.

Also I have to start thinking about I will get people directed to http://www.pricecap.co.uk, as the entertainment world would say "Bums on seats", THE NEXT BIG HURDLE!!!

Next load of comaprison data I will go for is data for TVs, a favourite im sure youll agree.

Hi all

Progress so far:

Managed to sort some useful data for comparing DAB radios on http://www.Pricecap.co.uk

It takes a lot of time to manage the product feeds provided by the Affiliate Networks, as they come in many different formats, and structures.

What I need is nifty tool that will process the data for me as i need. So all I have to do is then suck that data into the database and hey presto!


I am currently using OpenOffice.org to manage the data with some scripting to sort the data as required. But it is still very time consuming due to the mass of the and I repeat the varying formats and structures.

Will move on to providing some comparisons for Laptops next: Lets see if I can do this any quicker?
