2004-10-29 [VI] This is a 10 line replacement for the far-more-capable wget program. This only works for [http] and just gets a url and puts it in a file. To invoke - have an alias like this: alias wget '/usr/local/tcl/8.4.7/bin/tclsh8.4 ~/tcltools/wget.tcl \!*' And use it as wget http://wiki.tcl.tk/12871 Code for wget.tcl - only requires the tcl core: ====== package require http set url [lindex $argv 0] set filename [file tail $url] set r [http::geturl $url -binary 1] set fo [open $filename w] fconfigure $fo -translation binary puts -nonewline $fo [http::data $r] close $fo ::http::cleanup $r puts "Got $url -> $filename" ====== ---- [male] - 30th October 2004: If the file should be written in binary mode, then the data should be requested and transferred as binary too! I changed the code above to get the url in binary mode. [HJG] 2012-12-28 Here is a variation to download a list of files: ====== package require http puts "# Download playlists for webradio HR4 ..." #set url "http://playlist.hr-online.de/playlist/playlist.php?tpl=hr4&datum=2012-12-28&uhr=22" set D1 "2012-12-28" set FL {21 22 23} foreach D2 $FL { set url "http://playlist.hr-online.de/playlist/playlist.php?tpl=hr4&datum=$D1&uhr=$D2" set filename "HR4_$D1\_$D2.htm" ## puts "URL=$url." ## puts "filename=$filename." set r [http::geturl $url -binary 1] set fo [open $filename w] fconfigure $fo -translation binary puts -nonewline $fo [http::data $r] close $fo ::http::cleanup $r puts "Got $url -> $filename" } puts "# Done." ====== Note: in the above example, the playlists from that radiostation are only filled upto the current time. Also, only the playlists of the past 2 weeks are available. <> Application | Internet
