Code: Select all

exec wget -N http://your.homepage/filename.zip

this will retrieve filename.zip from your homepage only if newer than the original

Hello

the problem is the file on the homepage dosent have the same name it is a difffrent one ..

[demond]

then keep it locally with same name as on the website, and copy under different name if/when necessary

[Ofloo]

is it from a remote site .. or .. and is there a sequence to the filename changes, or ..

do you got db access .. u need to give more info what resources you got .. cause other wize we all can suggest a crap load of [censored] but half of it won't work..

Did you mean "http" when you said "ftp" or did I miss something? Do you have access to the new files by any other means than via http?

I think "boring" is the word you're looking for. The hard part is getting you to provide enough details...

You failed to tell us what the list looks like (the html)

This is what you need to do:
* download page
* extract url of the last file matching some pattern
* check if it matches the previous filename (which is "" the first time)
* if not: download file and rename it (store the original name to match the next time)

Here's some code to extract the last href matching a pattern...

Code: Select all

set html {
	...
	<A href="../bleh/MX-II 011204.zip">...</A> 
	<A href="../blah/MX-II 071204.zip">...</A>
	...
}
set name {MX-II [0-9]+\.zip}
set href [lindex [regexp -nocase -inline ".*href="(.*?$name)" $html] 1]

bind pub n !update {exec wget -N http://your.homepage/filename.zip;#}

but the file gois into /bot/ i should go into this /bot/files/
