Converting a URL to a flat file in batch ...

[pomegran]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right newsgroup but I hope you can help. I
need to get on a periodic basis (using maybe Windows scheduler) a URL
into a flat file in a specific directory. Seems quite easy but I
can't seem to find any utilities. Can anybody help or point to some
Java code that would easily do this?

Thanks
P

wget and curl are two popular such utilities for doing just that. You
may need cygwin to use them on windows, I really don't know.
