I've spent the better part of two days coding a utility designed to pull
log files (plain ascii text) off a web server, then parse the contents
for a report. After initially testing the concept with local files, today
I realized that when you use the 'get URL "http://
myserver.com/myfile.log"' form it STRIPS ALL RETURNS out of the file! I
must have known this before, but it slipped my deteriorating mind. Before
I recode my utility, can someone tell me, is it possible to pull a text
file off a web server using the http protocol and retain the return
characters?
I think the returns are there, but are converted to spaces by the browser,
since that's the HTML way.
I would try:
<code type=xtalk>
get URL "http://myserver.com/myfile.log";
put it into myText
put "<pre>" before myText
put "</pre>" after myText
</code>
Then save myText to a file with a ".htm" extension, and point the browser to
the file.
