Well, you could do it with shell command, but u need to have wget installed

Code: Select all

catch {exec wget http://somesite.some/somefile.html}
file rename -force somefile.html /home/you/eggdrop/somefile.html

Or you can use lynx (if installed)

Code: Select all

exec lynx -dump http://www.somesite.com/somepage.html >somefile.tmp

neither of these will work on Windows (windrop), nor will they help you later in parsing

you should use Tcl's built-in http package:

Code: Select all

package require http
set token [::http::geturl http://foo.com/bar.html]
# save it to file
set f [open bar.html w]
fconfigure $f -translation binary
puts -nonewline $f [::http::data $token]
close $f
# or parse it
foreach line [split [::http::data $token] \n] {
   # parse that line
}
::http::cleanup $token

thank you for help. Will demonds script overwrite bar.html file if it already exist?

And i get an error while running this script in tclpro :

http://k.1asphost.com/pbatm/error.jpg

And i want to do a Half life server browser dcript. So i know the website witch gives information of specified servers. So i download html file to the eggdrop dir. Extract some info. And post it to the chan. Maybe there is some easyer way to do this? Maybe there is some scripts already done? I searched this tcl archive and found nothing. Then I googled a lot.. And still nothing...

not a script problem, your installation's problem

learn to copy & paste text, no need to post pictures of text; and learn how to use http package (I somehow doubt you have any experience in scripting though...)

there are zillions of http scripts which do what you want to do; how did your search yield nothing is beyond me

of course i have no exp in tcl scripting. that is why i'm asking help.
