Hi all,

I'm a computational chemist but my background is totally chemistry and I'm now learning to compute. I've learned to program in C but now I need to call a website which builds molecules 400+ times. I can enter the molecule name into the url after the website name and it builds it for me. After I click a few buttons I can then download the file containing the structure. I really don't want to do this 400 times :) I have a list of all the molecules and I want to do something like:
for each line in this file,
call this website,
let the user press buttons waiting for some signal from the user then
call the website with the next url.

If someone could just point me in the right direction. Like which language can I do this with? Is there a tool available to do this? Any ideas would be much appreciated.
