opentext( url address )

[tommydnp]

Hello,

I need to read a line in a textfile which is published on a website
address ( http://www.radiocontact.be/Live/onair2.txt ) so I can resolve
the playlist of a radiostation.

The problem is that the way I tried it doesn't work:

variable = opentext("http://www.radiocontact.be/Live/onair2.txt")

because it only works with file pathnames.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Hi,

You need to get a response stream to read in the file.

Dim sr As New
IO.StreamReader(Net.WebRequest.Create("http://www.radiocontact.be/Live/onair2.txt ").GetResponse.GetResponseStream)
Trace.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd)
