I need a particular Automator program. It's really quite simple but I have been completely unable to find it on the Internet.

I give it a text file with a list of URL addresses

It sequentially pulls up each web page in Safari

It then selects all of the text on the web page

It then pastes that text into a text file

And then it moves on to the next URL address



I wonder if anyone can help.

For most things I would have said this:
"You should be able to make this yourself, Automator is relatively simple"
Which is true, automator is so easy, if you can describe what you want, you can do it.
However, there simply aren't actions available to do what you describe (grabbing URLs from text), as far as I know.
How many URL's are we dealing with here?
