UrlDownloadToFile Alternative Topic is solved

[TablePerson22]

UrlDownloadToFile doesn't appear to be working. I'm assuming because it uses IE?
Is there an alternative way to do this?
Thank you,

Code: Select all

folder := "test"

url := "https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk.zip"
filename := A_Desktop "\" folder

If !FileExist(filename)
FileCreateDir, %filename%

UrlDownloadToFile, %url%, %filename%

ExitApp

The filename is a path to a file.

Code: Select all

UrlDownloadToFile, %url%, %filename%\ahk.zip

Explained: UrlDownloadToFile

oh Thanks very much, that's working!

I would like to add that it doesn't use IE. You can see the 3rd sample here to learn more

also an example , get name ( example last ahk-version )

Code: Select all

url:="https://autohotkey.com/download/1.1/version.txt"
SplitPath,url,name, dir, ext, name_no_ext, drive
Path := A_Desktop . "\" . name
urldownloadtofile,%url%,%path%
try,
 run,%path%
exitapp
