Yes - you don't need to type in the hashes by hand at all.

You have code to read the hashes from a web page as strings.

Read the hashes from the web into a list of hashes.
Read the dictionary file into a list of words.
for each word in the dictionary compare the hashed word with the list of 
hashes, and if you get a match, output the word and the hash.

If you have code to get the hash strings from the web url, it is nuts to 
output them to the screen and then type them back in to the cracking 
program when you can just add the code to get them from the web to the 
cracking program.
