Here is an exapmle from my File Streaming chapter in Inside C# (second edition).
using System; using System.IO; using System.Net; namespace WebPages { public class WebPagesApp { [STAThread] public static void Main(string[] args) { string s = "http://www.microsoft.com"; Uri uri = new Uri(s); WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(uri); WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse(); Stream str = resp.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(str); string t = sr.ReadToEnd(); int i = t.IndexOf("<HEAD>"); int j = t.IndexOf("</HEAD>"); string u = t.Substring(i, j); Console.WriteLine("{0}", u); } } } Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# -----Original Message----- From: The DOTNET list will be retired 7/1/02 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jeff Roberts Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 11:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] FileStream question Does anyone know if I can read a text file from a web server with the FileStream class ? For example, if my .net application was launched from www.ws.com\myapp.exe, could I read a file from www.ws.com by the name of mytextfile with the following code ? string Dir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory; file = new FileStream(Dir+"mytextfile", FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read,FileShare.ReadWrite); reader = new BinaryReader(file, Encoding.Unicode); You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
