To save a webpage to a file:
-------------------------------------
1. import urllib
2. urllib.urlretrieve("http://econpy.pythonanywhere.com
/ex/001.html","D:\file.html")
-------------------------------------
That's it!
Coming from VB/A background, some of the stuff you can do with python -
with ease - is amazing.
VBScript version
------------------------------------------------------
1. Option Explicit
2. Dim xmlHTTP, fso, fOut
3. Set xmlHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.serverXMLHTTP")
4. xmlHTTP.Open "GET", "http://econpy.pythonanywhere.com/ex/001.html";
5. xmlHTTP.Send
6. Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
7. Set fOut = fso.CreateTextFile("D:\file.html", True)
8. fOut.WriteLine xmlHTTP.ResponseText
9. fOut.Close
10. Set fOut = Nothing
11. Set fso = Nothing
12. Set xmlHTTP = Nothing
------------------------------------------------------
Technically, that VBS will run with just lines 3-9, but that's still 6
lines of code vs 2 for python.
