Read files from URL

Anonymous User 2864 20 Jun 2013

Hi Developers,

Is it possible to read files like .css and .js from a URL? For instance, I have a file, which is located at http://main/shared/css/main.css, and want to read this file and store its content in another file at c:\main.txt. I know how to read files in local drives but not sure how to do it for a URL. Any help is much appreciated.

Any help would be amazing thank you!

Hi Ankit,

Using XMLHttpRequest, you can read the files from the URL as following line of code

url = "http://main/shared/css/main.css"
Set req = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHttp.6.0")
req.open "GET", url, False
req.send
If req.Status = 200 Then
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  fso.OpenTextFile("C:\main.txt", 2).Write req.responseText
End If

I hope it helpful for you.
