Re: [amibroker] how to? with script, download data from web

["Prashanth" <prash454@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi dingo, 
 
I did add the comma , without it it gave an error, 
but still unable to run the script. By the way Jeff , if u are 
able to download the file using the below mentioned script, do write back, I 
will check my systems again.
 
 
Regards
Prashanth

  <FONT face=Arial 
  color=#0000ff size=2>try putting a comma (,) between the 2 params.  Like 
  so:
  <FONT face=Arial 
  color=#0000ff size=2> 
  Download( "My Http 
  Address/ACC.txt", 
  "c:\\mydata\\ACC.txt" ); 
   
  <FONT face=Arial 
  color=#0000ff size=2>d

    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<FONT 
    size=3>" "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.
