I need to RegEx parse some values, primarily URL data, out of the body of some emails. I do not want to open the email client, but want to process this in the background. I am using Mozilla Thunderbird to download email from an AOL account using WebMail AddOn. I have a filter in Thunderbird that mov...

Thank you for the info mtettmar. It turns out that my Editor screen needed to be expanded. This is what I saw: http://i48.tinypic.com/ml3zv6.jpg You can see that the last few parameters do not show, and there is not arrow to signify the need to scroll right or widen the window. My window was actuall...

I know that HTTP will not work, just mentioned it as an example of a method similar to how I would like to download the file. Basically using a web site similar to an FTP site, but having users just use their browser vs. ftp software. Not my design, not my site to make public, only to access for dow...

FTPGetFile Help

Having trouble making an FTP download. Result Code is "-". Using Macro Scheduler 11.1.20 ========================================== FTPGetFile prompts in the Editor don't match the Help syntax.

Enabled logging.
Ran 12 tests, average time is about 14.4 seconds.
Quickest was 3 seconds, longest was 48 seconds.

Will have to live with it.
Thanks for the solution, that is what really mattered.

Thank you Marcus. The script worked perfectly, got the page into the variable. The only problem I see is that it took over 30 seconds to get the simple page of 5 sample lines. Any way to speed that up?
