Hello,

Do we know a way to retrieve/grab Text from a webpage/url in PD...
... then write it to a textfile maybe? or insert into a list.
you don't have to use Pd, you could just do "wget [URL] > myfile.txt"
you can run this from within Pd (using [shell]) or create a small server that communicates with Pd using netsend/netreceive (or whatever you prefer). i have posted examples on how to the latter on this list before (so see the archives). i have used this method extensively to display websites within Pd (e.g. for http://umlaeute.mur.at/projects/surf-the-net)
an alternative method is to use the [tcpclient] object of mrpeach; the help-patch even shows how to access a website.
