OK, so it's time to ask for help again... Maybe some of those I helped
in years past will return the good favor...
Situation: client wants me to go to their website and download about
5,000 images from the corporate database via separate URL's for each
(i.e. -
http://www.client.net/db/images/0001.eps thru
http://client.net/db/images/5000.eps ).
I can get explorer to auto-load new windows with sucessive URL's, but
it still leaves me to click on each one and select the save image
drop-down menu or the save commend from the file menu. I know URL
Access is supposed to be able to permit me to script this whole process
so as to just download the url contents directly, but I can't get the
syntax into a form it grasps to make it do what I want. The dictionary
says the command is Download URL to FilePathName
i.e. - download "
http://www.client.net/db/images/0001.eps"; to "Mac
HD:users:test:desktop folder:Img_saves:"
But if I try to wrap the download command in a tell "URL Access"
statement, either within or external to a browser, the script editor
rejects anything after the word download (end of line expected).
Simplified example for my purposes:
set TheURLPointer to "
http://www.client.net/db/images/0002.eps"; as text
set OurSaveFile to "Mac HD:users:test:desktop folder:Img_saves:"
Tell application "Explorer"
tell "URL Access"
Download TheURLPointer to OurSaveFile
end tell
end tell
Help greatly appreciated.
Sincerely Yours,
Marc Glasgow
