 Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2006 6:42 pm Post subject: how to update software packages on server |
 |
|
Hi,
Am looking for thoughts on how to approach this problem.
I'd like to "autoupdate" software packages to my server. ie avg free eddition. However, the file name changes with the version.
For example: AVG FREE is here. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-free
I would like to, download it, and some others with one click of a button. wget obviously will not work as it does not support wildcards.
How might one approach this with autohotkey?
Thank You. |

How do you get the link? From one Web page? URLDownloadToFile it, parse the file (using regular expressions or Titan's routines to handle HTML or some other mean) then download the linked file.

There are lots of variation of wget, http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/wgetwin.html supports wildcard.

Thanks for posting this. I actually "rolled my own" after I'd started this thread. And was mostly successfull. However, when I have a moment, I'll take his and mine and combine them.. |
