Graeme Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I'm trying to write a script which checks 5 particular programs to see whether I have the latest versions. If there is a newer version then I'll download and run the update. I'd rather not download the update first and use filegetversion on the downloaded file... Is there a way of reading the file version from the download page? Thanks. Blessings Graeme

Solution Graeme Posted December 19, 2013 Author Solution Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks orbs, I had read that before and it didn't seem to work for me - but this morning I've seen the light. It was the fact that the variable that is read is an array that I'd missed. Thanks for your interest, JLogan... Blessings Graeme
