I suggest to use the "put" command with the "url" keyword, using a
"send in time" structure:
on mouseUp
checkWebsite ""
end mouseUp
on checkWebsite thePrev
put line -1 of url "http://yoursite.com/yourfile"; into theCurrent
if thePrev <> theCurrent then
--do your stuff here, it changed!
end if
send checkWebsite theCurrent to me in 4.5 seconds
--slightly less then 5 seconds, assuming the download of the whole
file takes ca. 0.5 seconds
end checkWebsite
Be aware that clicking the button twice would have your code execute
twice every 4.5 seconds, so maybe you should check the pendingMessages
somehwere. The docu on that property also shows on how to stop the
repeating.

Hi All!
I'm making a little web browser client that needs to check the
contents of a file on a web server. It needs to be able to do this
every 5 seconds or so in the background, and then if the contents
changes in the last line of the file it is checking, it starts
another process in the background. Can this be done in Rev? Would I
use two stacks, one as the browser and one with the repeat loop?
I'm at a loss for what this might look like in a script?
Thanks in Advance!
