You can use biterscripting internet sessions ( http://www.biterscripting.com/helppages_automatedinternet.html ) to login, fetch pages, from the server. Then use the editor commands ( http://www.biterscripting.com/helppages_editors.html ) to parse, search and output. If you had posted an exact scenario, I would have been able to get you started with exact code.

For flexible FTP batch/bulk uploading, take a view at this script. http://www.biterscripting.com/helppages/SS_FTPUpload.html

It uploads an entire directory (your project) to the server. You provide the server name, login, password, local path and remote path as arguments to the script. It creates subdirectories on the FTP server as necessary. That script is open source so you can modify or make better. The FTPUpload script downloads automatically as part of biterscripting installation.

Someone else asked this quesion, I can't remember where to reply to his post. But, since I wrote the script already, wanted to post to this good site. The code is written in biterscripting. (http://www.biterscripting.com) I would like to split a csv file into secondary csv files on a key field. Ex : all.csv (1st column is the key field for splitting action) P1;X;10 P1;Y;5 P2;Z;10 P2;A;5 P3;B;30 P3;C;60 P1.csv P2.csv P3.csv P1;X;10 P2;Z;10 P3;B;30 P1;Y;5 P2;A;5 P3;B;60 Here is the script. Patrick # START OF SCRIPT var str saved_wsep set $saved_wsep = $wsep set $wsep=";" var str output_file var str input, output, row_str, c1, prev_c1 # c1 for column 1 cat "all.csv" >$input var int row, rows set $rows = { len $input } set $row = 1 while ($row <= $rows) do lex -p $row $input >$row_str wex -p "1" $row_str >$c1 if ($c1 <> $prev_c1) do # new output file begins. Is there anything in the previous file. if ($prev_c1 <> "") do echo $output > { echo $prev_c1 ".csv" } done endif set $prev_c1 = $c1 done endif set $output = $output + $row_str + "\n" set $row = $row + 1 done echo $output > { echo $prev_c1 ".csv" } set $wsep = $saved_wsep

Instead of using a batch file, it has only a limited set of commands, it is far far better to use a more general scripting language for custom, pre and post build steps. I use biterScripting for this. For example, when building a deployable release, we copy certain important modules suffixed by the build time. I stored the following script into a file postbuild.txt. # Get build time var str build_time set $build_time = gettime() # Copy file (for example) buildparms.h var str file var str build_file set $file = "buildparms.h" set $build_file = $file + "_" + $build_time cat $file > { echo $build_file } # etc. This script is in file postbuild.txt. I then enter the following in the post-build steps in Visual Studio. "C:/biterScripting/biterScripting.exe" "postbuild.txt" That does it for me. You can put tons of code in the postbuild.txt script, and you can even call other (sub-) scripts from that script. We even build all the help files in the pre-build using the same approach. If you are not using biterscripting yet, you can get it free at biterscripting.com. If you already know batch commands, you will know biterscript in no time at all. Hope this helps. Patrick

I use the following script. Put it in a file called RemoveTags.txt and execute from MS-DOS prompt C:/biterScripting/biterScripting.exe RemoveTags.txt dir("") files("*.html") If you really have 1000 documents, it may take a while. Hope this helps.
