Grabbing image help

[simon66]

ok I want my program to grab any image on the site that the url starts with like lets say

http://naturesplus.com/coupons/includes/pass-images/

can I use wildcards on vb.net?

like [a-z|A-Z|0-9] or something like that?

The full url for a image smaple would be

http://naturesplus.com/coupons/inclu...49fn4hjc4n.jpg

Thank you

No, if the webserver prohibits directory listing (almost always if the administrator is not a complete idiot) you will need the complete name of each file.

Here's what it says when you go to the address you mentioned:

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.

See? The only way you can get an image from there is finding out the exact image URL (this includes the file name).

No, if you don't know the name of the file you want to download there are no legal ways to get the list of the files in the directory of a web server.

Are you downloading the source code and then searching it for image links?

Or are you trying to access the directory as cicatrix assumed?

m downloading the source code then searching.

if you are downloading the source code then searching within, i'd use regex.
