  how to? with script, download data from web
  
  Hi,
   
  I had a similar problem and TJ gave me this 
  script, but there is a small prob which I have given at the end of this 
  messge,
   
  
  URLGet is not a JScript 
  function. You can not type it directly in JScript. It is an external 
  program that you have to "run" from JScript via Run method WshShell object, 
  
  as shown in the newsletter, <FONT 
  face=Arial size=2>that I pointed to you before: <A 
  href="">http://www.amibroker.com/newsletter/02-2001.html
   
  
  /* first, create Shell object that 
  allows us to run external programs */WshShell = new 
  ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );
  /* this handy function takes just 
  URL and local file name and calls URLGet program to do the work 
  */function Download( URL, 
  filename ){
  
    if( WshShell.Run( "URLGet " + URL + " " + 
    filename, 0, true ) == 0 ) return true;
    WScript.echo("Download of " + URL + " failed." 
    );
    return false;
  }
  /* Now you can 
  use above function to download and store the file */  
  
  Download( "My Http Address/ACC.txt" 
  "c:\\mydata\\ACC.txt" ); 
  But I still have a 
  small problem, When I run the script, nothing happens. What can be the 
  problem. I can download the file using URLget, but using this Script I wanted 
  to update the said file - I do not want to download the whole file again and 
  again. All ideas welcome since I badly have to use this 
  feature.

    groups and so on usinginfo from a text file located on a local hard 
    drive.  i want to skipseveral steps and access a CSV file located
