Since the names of the files don't seem to have any date/time information in them, You're going to have to keep track of the last time that you retrieved the data. Then you'll have to build the names of the files that you want, get the date/time of the last modification and determine if you have an up-to-date file or whether you need to retrieve it.
Unfortunately, when you're dealing with FTP retrieval of weather data, it's not going to be an elegant process. You may want to investigate whether an RSS feed is available to obtain what you want. That is what I have done to get the current information for tropical systems. ...Glenn On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 11:48 AM, Laoballer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > yes, the numbers are in this format # # # # # # - # # # # # # - # > #.op.gz (i.e. 88493-53253-2007.op.gz) station-wban-yyyy.op.gz, I > have a database that I can query to retrieve those numbers. op.gz are > just the file extension, I was thinking about querying those numbers > into an array and looping through them. > > Thanks > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DotNetDevelopment, VB.NET, C# .NET, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, XML, XML Web Services,.NET Remoting" group.
