Hello, I'm new to this board as well as new to this subject, so I've run into some problems.
I'm trying to use wget to copy a webpage as described in this thread: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread159351.html. I made a .bat file with the following contents:
echo --------------- >>printer.txt
wget www.google.com >>printer.txt
date >>printer.txt
echo --------------- >>printer.txt
Google is just a random site I'm using to test it.
What gets inputed into the file is:
---------------
The current time is: 8:28:33.68
Enter the new time:
So, the problem is that the webpage is not being copied.
In case it enlightens the situation, here is what the .bat says when it is copying the webpage is:
D:\Server\htdocs>wget http://www.google.com 1>>printer.txt
--08:37:28-- http://www.google.com:80/
=> 'index.html.2'
Connecting to www.google.com:80... connected!
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: unspecified [text/html]
OK -> .....
08:37:28 <5.47 MB/s> - 'index.html.2' saved [5736]
Looking at this I found that it was creating a new file for the html, index.html.2, and copying the webpage there. The problem with this is that it creates a new file every time I use it. I'm going to need to copy the page hundreds of times before reading it and I it won't be feasible to check all the files to find what I'm looking for. I tried using 'printer.html' instead of 'printer.txt' but the thing still continued to produce new files.
Is there a way around this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.
