String[] lines = loadStrings("http://processing.org/about/index.html");
println("there are " + lines.length + " lines");
for (int i = 0 ; i < lines.length; i++) {
  println(lines[i]);
}

Can you give an example? After you load the URL into a string you will probably need to extract your information from the HTML… and this can be difficult, time consuming, and error-prone with the wrong approaches. Parsing HTML can be hard, depending on what you need.
