| My aim is to read the data from text files stored in a precise location on the web. The information in the files is very simply stored as strings. I have tried using the code from here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1816 but I keep getting errors, even when using the default example. It also appears somewhat over complicated for what I am trying to do. In essence, all I really need is something that can do the following: Function WebFileHandle%=OpenWebFile$(PathURL$,Filename$) Function ReadWebInt%(WebFileHandle%) Function ReadWebString%(WebFileHandle%) Function ReadWebFloat#(WebFileHandle%) I understand how carriage returns would need to be checked for, as these take up bytes in the stream being read, but I am very rusty on the whole Peek idea with Short/Long bytes etc. |

Your going to need to use the TCP streams

| Yes, but how? |

| Isn't there an example in the code archives that shows how to download an image to a bank? A textfile would be the same. As far as I remember it's one of the oldest samples in the archives. |

| That's the link in my first post I think, jfk. It was way opvercomplicated for what I need, and I wasn't too sure what to snip out from it. |
