performing automatic tasks in windows..
 

how do i perform automatic tasks in windows? like have a program go to URL.com/file every x seconds an download and save it to my desktop..?

why do you wanna download the same file every x seconds?

if you want something custom, icq: 33375924 :)

install CURL for windows. create a dos BAT file with the command you want in it:

curl http://www.download.com/somefile.txt > filename.txt

and then set it up on as a scheduled event through the windows control panel.

Leeching peas?;)
You could set a sync software to run every X minute and download (and sync) the file locally.

what sync software

im using automateit 6, but my problem is when it downloads the txt file, it fucks it up..

example:
my original file is in this format:
line1
line2
line3

the file it saves is in this format:
line1[]line2[]line3

Seems it doesnt download in ms-dos format or something... try to import it into ultra-edit. UE should prompt you at the opening, asking if you want to convert the file.

Sync soft - handy backup, superflexible file synchronizer etc etc

(or just pay a coder 10 bucks to make a hack for you)

importing it into ultraedit will make it manual.. i want this to run automatically.. from file fetch to file save..

Just hit up Sickbeatz or Myst (use search for icq) - they will fix it in 15 mins.
