Hi ...
I'm trying to download via URLAS the results of a Google groups search.
The URL is pretty hefty:
"
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=+"TR:"+-Re:+group:uk.rec.climbing&hl=en&l
r=&safe=off&rnum=2&ic=1&selm=email@hidden"
However my test script (OS904, AS 143)
--
set theFile to choose file -- pick any old temp file to overwrite with the
result, which should be an HTML output
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download URL ,
"
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=+"TR:"+-Re:+group:uk.rec.climbing&hl=en&;
lr=&safe=off&rnum=2&ic=1&selm=email@hidden" to file
theFile replacing yes
end tell
--
produces:
--> URL Access Scripting got an error: Can't make some data into the
expected type.
Beats me. Any clues?
best
Charles
