Retrieving Files from the Internet

[winstein]

One of the Macros I worked on requires that I use a certain type of file in order to operate, but right now my colleague has this idea of retrieving said file on the internet, so used a website where a file is to be downloaded when you entered this link.

Of course, it doesn't work because the ReadFile function cannot read files found on the internet, nor can it verify of its existence using IfFileExists.

Is there a way to retrieve files on the internet to be read?

Thanks for reading.

You could use HTTPRequest>. Note that the URL and file name may be case sensitive.

Code: Select all

HTTPRequest>https://www.mjtnet.com/software/FindColor.zip,%desktop_dir%\findcolor.zip,GET,,,,,,

That function does what I wanted it to do.

Thank you!
