Hello,
Didn't find any results on search...
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.
Thanks! mark

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.

Hopefully, mrpeach himself will chime in, there are rumors he's got a
HTTP running that's built-in Pd.

hmmm ... [shell] crashes pd when it bangs "DONE"
pd-0.40.3-extended-20080222 osx 10.5.2 intel 2.16 ghz
...although i can hit "ignore" and continue working. pretty weird.

cuould do the same with curl, +curl supports other protocols, not just http ..and it has libcurl, which could proly be ported as an external so we'd have "pd<->web" communication going on ..that'd be great for particular types of purposes!

Thanks! mark
also look at detox from jasch_lib that can handle xml/html formatted messages. marius.
you can also use the language of your choice that supports OSC and parse the page externally.
i've attached a perl example w/ a super simple pd patch.
