Hey!
As im a visual basic newbie i was wondering if it is possible to read a text file from a website to retrieve infomation from it. As in it opens www.website.com/textfile.txt and can read what's in it as if it was opening a normal file off my harddrive. Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Sorry for not editting my first post, but the edit page doesnt seem to load :(
anyway i tried Open "http://www.website.com/textfile.txt" For Input As #1 but it didnt work :(
Probably the easiest way to do this would be to use the URLDownloadToFile API. Use the search box above and you will find all kinds of example of using URLDownloadToFile.
