Hi Bob, The preview browser is a development environment, and the data on there is in flux. The page you linked to below has data being actively submitted to it, so the files.txt file cannot be expected to be up to date. Therefore, on preview, there is no way to programmatically retrieve all the addresses from files.txt with any confidence. Additionally, the data on preview has not been through our QA process.
I would suggest using our downloads page: http://genome.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/downloads.html Please let us know if you have any additional questions: [email protected] - Greg Roe UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group On 8/1/11 12:44 PM, Bob Thurman wrote: > I'd like to programmatically download data from the preview browser, using > wget, for instance, but I'm having some trouble. > > For instance, the page > > http://genome-preview.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgFileUi?db=hg19&g=wgEncodeUwHistone > > links to a file "files.txt" whose address is on hgdownload-test, and whose > contents are not complete compared to the listing provided on the page > above.
