MDF Files

Hi Gurus,

I know that I can get a Unicode file from my hard drive or local network and put its content in a string variable (MDFContent in this case) by using this code (I have this part already done)

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFile(FileName)
Set ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(1, -1)
MDFContent = ts.ReadAll

But know, what I want is to get the same file but instead from my local drive, from the Internet, thru a URL. An expample of a file I want to access is: http://windowsmedia.vitaminic.net/es/f_pangu.mdf. So I want to enter this URL and be able to get the content of the file. I don't want to display it or view the Source, but put all its content in a String variable, as after that, I need to play with that.

Do you have a clue about how to do it?

Thanks much.

Sit back and take some time to read the following link:

With the winsock component, I was able to connect to an ftp and download the subscribers.txt content straight to a string variable without downloading it to the HD first.

Hope it helps.
