Thank you everyone for all your replies. I have no updates on the issue as I do not have time to pursue this project any longer. See ya, Antone

Hi - yes that sounds like an excellent solution. I will try just a little short on time. Thanks again! Antone

Hi - Yes it can be a seperate program unless the batch process decides not to return. Anyway I hoping to use command line emailer. Hard to believe there is not one out there that will work with gmail other webmail type programs. I simply want to send 1 freaking email to a gmail account from with in a batch file, but seems that is too much to ask after 60 years of computing. If we would stop trying to make everything so propritary we would all be able to communicate. This seriously hinders knowledge and hold back our ultimate progress not only in computers, but in all fields such as medicine, physics etc. Very frustrated, Antone

Hi, Thanks for the reply. The last update was in 2004. I have saw this one. Does anyone know of a program that know will work for sure with gmail 100% that they have tested??? Also that program does not seem to include STARTTLS which gmail uses. Thanks, Antone

Hi, I have tried sendmail mainsend and ifobootemail etc and none seems to work. I want to send mail to a gmail account for starters when a certain condition is met via a batch file. So, am I correct in these programs do not work anymore or am I doing something wrong??? Thanks, Antone

Hi - Yes that is security used. Thanks for your input and quick response. Thanks, Antone

Hi Phil, Thanks for all your assistnce. I really though this would have been done in the past. I will take a look at all the info you sent to me. Still waiting to hear back from the Perl guys, I really thought you can do this in Perl. Thanks, Antone

Thanks for the input, but I do not believe I have the knowledge to do that. I was hoping that this has been done before. The IE automation sounds interesting. Thanks, Antone

OK thanks I will look into linking for future posts. As far as my question I do not need to authenticate or worry about login credentials. I am already in fine, the page just changes every few minutes. Think of it as simply being able to click the [view source] button on any web page that happens to be on the browser and then the source e.g. raw HTML is written to a text file. That is what I need a script or program to be the view source button that I can invoke inside a batch file that is called by the scheduler every 5 minutes or so to check for the latest update. Thanks, Antone

Hi Phil, Sorry Fiddler is a no go. It does not write data to a file. Thanks, Antone

Hi Phil, Thanks for the quick reply! I will take a look at fiddler. I am an assembly language programmer mainly, so I do not know so much about script languages. If fiddler can write the webpage to a file then it should work! Please understand the login is not an issue anymore I can login fine and leave the opera browser on with refresh set to 30 seconds. Then as the page refreshes with new data I want to write it to a file. Next my program runs and check the raw data to see if what I am looking for is there, if it is then the bell will ring, if not then it ends and waits for the next html file to check. Thanks, Antone

Not clear why it is rude??? I am asking different forums and those that do not necessary see my question from other forums. So, if my question maybe answered in Perl and not in C# then the Perl guys will never see my question. If this is not correct let me know. I have not been on here in many years. Thanks, Antone

Greetings, I would like to know if anyone has any code ASP.NET or even VB script, Perl etc that can simply be run from a command line to download whatever page is on a browser and write the raw HTML to a file, it can also be MHT for that matter. I know about using - Navigate etc for a specific web page. This is different. The page I go to require authentication with word art and user name and password etc. Then once there you must click a few times to get where you are going for the data. Therefore running a script to direct me to a certain webpage will not work. The page has to be displayed first and then downloaded. So, I just want to take whatever is currently on the browser, mainly due to catch refreshes of new data. Understand the page I am getting data from is generated as from a database so I can not simply run a script file to download that page. The program must be able to simple be activated and write to disk what ever is displayed on the browser at the time the program is run. I have a seperate data extractor to run against the new file to find the data I need. This file can always have the same name as well and be overwritten. Thanks, Antone

hi David, thanks for the quick response,but that is not what I want to do. Imagine a webpage displayed, but you do not know the web address it is just displayed on the browser then the scehduler turns on and downloads the HTML of the page to a file. Thanks, Antone
