Hey guys,
I am trying to get it so when the user clicks button it downloads a certain file into a path such as "C:\Program Files\Server"

Ive tried using the "get" method but I don't know how to chose where to save the file. PLEASE HELP!

Hi.

If you are successful with the "get URL..." portion, is it just that you don't know how to save it to a file?

Look at the "open" and "write to file" commands.

Hi Alex,

Try this

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put url "http://www.alternatic.ch/jmb/DevLiveCode/OneText.txt" into tText
   ask file "Save to" with "Untitled.txt"
   if it <> empty then put tText into url("File:" & it)
end mouseUp

Best regards
Jean-Marc

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   create folder "C:\Program Files\GNTool"
   get url "DOWNLOADLINK"
   open file "C:\Program Files\GNTool" for write
   write to file 
end mouseUp

I dont understand how to layout the save after "write to file" I want the path to be "C:\Programfiles\GNTool" and I want to save the file as "server"
also, how do I send a message with the "get url" so that once the download is complete a message comes up.


-Thanks, Im a complete newbie and Im loving how helpful the community is here.

Code: Select all

create folder "C:/Program Files/GNTool"
set the defaultFolder to "C:/Program Files/GNTool"
put url "http://www.blabla.com/index.html" into url "file:index.html") 

Is that what you are trying to do?
