resolved.The type command expects [drive:][path]filename parameters not internet addresses. Batch coding is not designed for the Web, but you have alternatives on your SYSTEM that will scrape and print the web page data:

Code: [Select] Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

objIE.Navigate("HTTP://batchmedia.0moola.com/text.txt")
Do Until objIE.ReadyState = 4
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

objIE.document.parentwindow.clipboardData.SetData "text", objIE.Document.Body.InnerText

WScript.Echo objIE.Document.ParentWindow.ClipboardData.GetData("text")
objIE.Quit

Save the script with a vbs extension and RUN from the command prompt as CSCRIPT scriptname.vbs

Good luck. Quote from: SIDEWINDER on June 07, 2008, 07:51:32 AM
