try this

syt=urlread('http://weather.yahoo.com/austria/vienna/vienna-551801/');
startvalue=strfind(syt,'day-temp-current temp-f');
temperature=syt(startvalue+26:startvalue+27)

Thank you so much Thomas, but 1- how can i save it to a file on my computer? 2- what is startvalue+26 & 27 ?

sincerely

[Jan]

"startvalue+26" is the number you get, when 26 is added to the value of "startvalue". "startvalue" itself is the position of the string 'day-temp-current temp-f' inside the contents of the webpage.

We cannot gues how you can save "it". Please explain, what you want to save in which format.

thanks a lot Jan, but could you pls tell me how to get the Humidity and the wind speed how to get it?

sincerely

[Jan]

You are welcome, sese. Please show what you have tried so far to get the Humidity and explain, which problems occurred. It should be possible to modify Thomas' example.
