lol thats an example script ..... one togive u a slight map to go by when setting up ur own ........ its missing several checks like it leaves the sock open after u read from it ...... doesnt account for an error ....... minor lil things like that ... but if ur interested in some sort of reading from a site using sockets use the search feature look for SOCKETS expand the date range for somewhere around 6 months ..... and look for a few of the posts by Hammer ..... hes done a few excellant example scripts and explains them very well
man how come u had to slam me for being right ..... lol thats just wrong ..... u owe me a cookie now ..... hahaha ...... jk i wasnt tryin to slam on ur example as i do know u tossed it together really quickly to give an example to him ....... i was tryin to show him that he couldnt just edit that one there to get his info from ...... most of the time u can edit like 2 lines on a socket script and bam there u go it does what ur looking for but what hes looking for is a lil more complex since i think hes trying to find a specific line in the webpage hes looking for then return that line into a variable for a set in a dialog box ..... now only way i know of doing that is if u know what the specific line may read ur looking for is to loop thru the %version returned from the socket read until it finds a match ... then sets that to a variable ..... once it matches it then neds to close the socket open un a dialog menu u create and then read the line stored from ur variable ..... again thats how id go about finding that .. thats actually how i did my update script ... because for some screwed up reason it stopped working the way it was supposed to and started returning http200/ok and the whole mess of lines there as the %version for my updater script and then since it didnt match it just simply siad ok u need an update ........ anyhow long story but thats old news
