One more "can this be done " thing :)

[bobheart]

Using the URLDownloadToFile can it read from say a ini file from the web site and then load the info into a listbox /edit box ?

Liked to make a little program that if I have some software and I update it they click on the gui and it checks the ini file on a server and would say "No updates or yes version 10.2.20 is new click download to download the new file .

Can it be done ? think i would be able to do it ?

just try this:

$pc_ini = "C:\Programs\your_program - updater.ini" ;This would be the ini, which already exists on your PC

$inet_ini = @TempDir & "\Your-File.ini" ;This would be the one out of the I-Net

URLDownloadToFile("http://www.thiscouldbeyourserver.com/andthisyour.ini", $inet_ini)

$your_version = IniRead($pc_ini, "Program", "Version", "MISSING")

$inet_version = IniRead($ini, "Program", "Version", "MISSING")

If $your_version = $inet_version Then

MsgBox(0, "Update...", "A new version is available. Trying to download."

$download_folder = @DesktopDir & "\new-version.exe"

$update_download = URLDownloadToFile("http://www.thiscouldbeyourserver.com/PROGRAM.EXE", $download_folder)

MsgBox(0, "Finish", "The File has been downloaded to " & $download_folder)

Else

MsgBox(0, "Update...", "No new version available. Closing program.")

EndIf

FileDelete($inet_ini)

I hope this would work, ... I was sitting on a Mac while writting this, so I hadn't the chance to check, but I'm sure you will understand how it would work
