Using the Crawler Workbench, you can: *Visualize a collection of Web pages as a graph *Save pages to your local disk for offline browsing *Concatenate pages together for viewing or printing them as a single document *Extract all text matching a certain pattern from a collection of pages. *Develop a custom crawler in Java or Javascript that processes pages however you want.
