I can think of a few approaches: 1) wget and save the html as a file and read it in J 2) emulate a http agent (using socket) 3) use internetexplorer COM object for e.g.
wd 'pc internetexplorer' wd 'cc x oleautomation:internetexplorer.application' wd 'oleset x base visible 1' wd 'olemethod x base Navigate http://google.com' NB. now you may access Document.body or anything (after checking readystate of course) (i'm not used to J's ole facility, so there might be some rough cuts but you got the basic idea) On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 12:01 AM, Tracy Harms <[email protected]> wrote: > I'd like to automate capturing web-page source text using J.
