Is there anyway that I can write a script that will download an html page (not on my server), and then save it as a txt file on my server?

Thanks

Nathan

You can use FSO (FileSystemObject) to save text files. http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_ref_file.asp

and...

How are you planning on getting the url for the remote html page?

You can use Microsoft XML HTTP (think its that) to download the file, do a search on the forum in the asp discussion. If you have no luck i've got an example somewhere.

Sorry I was not very clear with what I am trying to do. The chat system I use is a JavaHosted one. I want to be able to show on each page of my site, who is currently chatting. By following this link, I can view who is chatting - (but of course this file is not on my server):

http://client1.sigmachat.com/scwho.pl?id=52241

I want to be able to save the results of the above link as a simple txt file for inclusion on each of my web site pages. The script would be executed everytime someone joins (or leaves) the chat room to update the txt file.

Any help would be very welcome.

Thanks

Nathan

You can use Microsoft's XMLHTTP component as mart suggested, here's some code:

<%
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
objXML.Open "GET", "http://client1.sigmachat.com/scwho.pl?id=52241", False
objXML.Send
%>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<table><tr><td><% = objXML.ResponseText %></td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>
<% Set objXML = Nothing %>

You should place the <% = objXML.ResponseText %> wherever you want that page to be shown on your site.

The right way would be to parse the HTML from that page and get just
the usernames.... Or at least strip off everything exept the body of the page.

There are other components to do the same thing as XMLHTTP. I suppose it depends on whether you need more functionality. Doesn't look like you do though.

Super! Thanks People - it works great - the beers are on me!

Have been fiddling with XML over the last few days. A little worrying really, some of the things you can do should be illegal!

How demanding is XML on the server though? I worry that this may put extra load - defeating the orignal reason for using it.
