MACRO that downloads single/multiple file/s to a directory

[ivan_will]

Hi,

Could anyone help me with a VB script that downloads single/multiple file/s to a directory.

I am testing some examples but without any results:

UrlDownloadToFile, http://...... .pdf,  D:\test.pdf

or

URLDownloadToFile 0, _

"http://..... .pdf", _

"D:\test.pdf", 0, 0

Thanks in advance!

ps prefer script for multiples files if any

HI,

   Here is the macro which i got from web. Not sure will this work or not.

Sub Download( myFileURL, myDestFile )

' This function uses X-standards.com's X-HTTP component to download a file

'

' Arguments:

' myFileURL  [string] the URL of the file to be downloaded

' myDestFile [string] the fully qualified path of the downloaded "target" file

'

' The X-HTTP component is available at:

' http://www.xstandard.com/page.asp?p=C8AACBA3-702F-4BF0-894A-B6679AA949E6

' For more information on available functionality read:

    Dim objHTTP

    Set objHTTP = CreateObject("XStandard.HTTP")

    objHTTP.Get myFileURL

    objHTTP.SaveResponseToFile myDestFile

    Set objHTTP = Nothing

End Sub

Hi Ivan,

I'd rather use wget or something similar and call if from macro (if any) to get the files you want, using the Launch member of the Application class in the API (check the APIGuide.qvw file for further reference and examples).

Hope that helps.

No , I don't want using any other programs to do that.

Using macro is better for my purposes.

Any other ideas of macro doing the download function?

Tnx

Hi,

Googling returns a good bunch of VBScript examples either using proprietary controls or making use of the FTP command already existing in the Windows operating system, which probably assures the portability. You will need an external control or application anyway unless you use the "Use FTP" check in the script editor dialog (if that helps).

Note that in the server-client environment there are some macros that are not triggered (On Open, On Post Reload...) although they should work manually with the plugin or desktop clients.
