Read text file from web

[Israelks]

Hi, I'm trying to read informations from a .txt stored file (i'm using drive to store the file, but i accept suggestions), I dont wanna use _IE because it is VERY slow for me, i've tried using InetRead and WinHTTP without success, here is my attempts: 

 

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
$oHTTP.Open("GET", "https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Cmk5-Mr10CwDcie37sb4AmhHj6D8S9C5", False)

$oHTTP.Send()
$oReceived = $oHTTP.ResponseText
$oStatusCode = $oHTTP.Status
ConsoleWrite($oReceived)

ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString(InetRead("https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Cmk5-Mr10CwDcie37sb4AmhHj6D8S9C5",1)))

$oIE = _IECreate("https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Cmk5-Mr10CwDcie37sb4AmhHj6D8S9C5")
ConsoleWrite(_IEDocReadHTML($oIE)) <<<<< WORKING, BUT VERY SLOW

 Thanks!

Try _INetGetSource(). You will need to parse the info on your own though. If you're just looking to host a txt file then you can probably find a better way to do it that isn't google docs and will require less

Hi, thank you for your answer, 

Using INetGetSource i could not get the information stored (TEST123456), the results are the same as using InetRead and WinHTTP

It's because it's being hosted on Google Docs. Like I was saying, you will prob need to find a new method of storing the text online if you're wanting to do this without having to spend a lot more effort on parsing and getting the data.

#include <Inet.au3>

ConsoleWrite(_INetGetSource('http://xcrov.com/autoit/test.txt'))

i've searched an alternative for drive but i could not find, can you suggest me a place to host a text file? (where i can edit the text and still with the same link) 

Thanks!

There is a UDF around here for google drive. I'm not sure if it still works because the last time I used it was like 5 years ago but you could try that. If you're not wanting to purchase a domain and hosting service then you could look at hosting a apache server on your computer or something. I'm sure there are free hosting sites somewhere.

Hello. this should work.

 

Local $sText=BinaryToString(InetRead("https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1Cmk5-Mr10CwDcie37sb4AmhHj6D8S9C5&export=download"))
ConsoleWrite($sText & @CRLF)
