FileOpen remote file

[russell]

I recently wrote a large program the reference variables from a txt file. It works fine but was want to have the txt file instead of being the the same dir as the script, instead me on mysite and reference it from there. Before i used

$color = FileOpen("color.txt", 0)

I thought this might work

$color = FileOpen("http://mysite.com/color.txt", 0)

Since anyone could see it and it worked in my web-browser. However non of the variables now work and im thinking its not actually opening the file because the location. Is there another command i use before FileOpen, like a HTTP base one or something? Help didn't seem to help too much, i assume its because i don't know where to look

ooop Inetget, lol i think i found it

[russell]

oo wow this proves to be a bit more than i thought. I ended up switching to InetRead instead but still cant seem to get any information from the file

[russell]

$color1 = InetRead ("http://mywebsite/color.txt", 1)

$color= BinaryToString($color1)


$test = FileReadLine ($color, 3)
$test = StringTrimLeft($test,13)

MsgBox (1,"title", $test)

That works if i tell the msgbox to give $color but not if i use the line read and trim. Any suggestions?

[Exit]

use _inetgetsource()

#include <INet.au3>

ConsoleWrite(_INetGetSource('http://mywebsite/color.txt'))

[russell]

thanks ill try that

[russell]

well that successfully writes it to the console but i have around 300 line in the script that look like this

$test = FileReadLine ($color, 3)
$test = StringTrimLeft($test,13)

Is there a way to convert it to a temp file so all the trims and read line matchup?

You could also use:

$sFileRead = BinaryToString(InetRead ($sURL))

This would avoid the temp file.

But he needs the temp file. See
