    Re: timer / doevents / inet problem

    I like a lot how it is designed, but I must report that I never got full 10 159 378 bytes, but usually few bytes less ( each time differentely ).

    I have no problems downloading the file using Firefox3/IE7.

    It doesn't matter. Size is just computed for stat purposes.
    Important is INET_Internet_ReadFile buffer size. That will determine the finish of the download.
    Callback status function is just used to monitor going on when not inside a loop but inside a timer message. It will allow to have some sort of multi-tasking behave. I will create an example showing a possible way on how to use it, a kind of download manager.

    Used API are OS integrated and not dependant from the installed browser so there should not be problems unless you are on very old OS.

    Hi Eros,

    well, I have Windows XP SP2 + all updates before SP3.
    When the script reports its finished, I try to unzip downloaded file and it complains "end of signature not found" or something similar - and as I said, 2 executions, 2 different resultant file sizes.

    I will check if it is not corrupted by antivirus.

    My suspection became reality - when having NOD32 online, it finished with bad size, with AV disabled no problem.
    I think NOD32 scans any download streams coming to PC, so maybe it interfered in some way.

    Re: timer / doevents / inet problem

    All developed functionalities are now available on current thinBasic beta 1.7.8.0
    Some functions has a little different syntax so please refer to example in \thinBasic\SampleScripts\INet\Internet_FileDownload.tbasic

    I will create a User Interface example very soon showing a sort of Download Manager.
    I'm not sure if all needed functions are already present, maybe I will develop something more on this area

    Let me know.

    Re: timer / doevents / inet problem

    Works great!

    But again I have a problem with reading international characters.

    In your example I replaced sURL with http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knäckebröd and then I save strData with file_save("C:\test.txt", strData)

    If I run the script and then open test.txt in NotePad, I can see the word Knäckebröd is written correctly. But if I insert this line in the script MSGBOX 0,grab$(strData,"<title>","</title>") it outputs Knäckebröd as Knäckebröd.

    I guess I must change the font, but how?

    Thanks martin.

    I have to investigate further on this, sorry not to have an immediate solution.

    Re: timer / doevents / inet problem

    I think I've got the problem and possibly found a solution thanks to a post from José Roca forum (as usual his forum is a mine of info and source code): http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smffo...php?topic=74.0

    The page you pointed for testing is UTF-8 encoded while thinBasic works on ANSI codes.
    I will release soon a new update of thinBasic beta version in which I've developed few new functions able to convert from UFT-8 to Wide to Ansi.

    Super! I really need correct output for analyzing webpages with searchresults. Thanks for your research!

    Re: timer / doevents / inet problem

    Hi Eros, I don't understand how to use the new utf8-commands. In the following script I wrote "function=UTF8ToAnsi$(strdata)" but that doesn't help to display correct characters. How should I use these new functions?

    [code=thinbasic]uses "inet"

    dim html as string
    dim title as string

    html=download("http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knäckebröd")
    title=grab$(html,"<title>","</title>")
    msgbox 0,title

    function download(sUrl as string) as string
    local hInternet,MyContext,hFile,cbBytesRead,TotalBytesRead,FileSize as dword
    local bResult,pstrBuffer,lBufferLen as long
    local strBuffer,strData AS STRING

    lBufferLen=1024

    do
    hInternet = INET_Internet_Open("test", %INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT)
    IF hInternet <> %NULL THEN EXIT DO
    loop

    do
    hfile=INET_Internet_OpenUrl(hInternet, sUrl, "", %INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE, MyContext)
    if hfile<>%NULL then exit do
    loop

    do
    filesize=INET_Http_QueryInfo(hFile, %HTTP_QUERY_CONTENT_LENGTH)
    if filesize<>%NULL then exit do
    loop

    strBuffer = STRING$(lBufferLen, $SPC)
    pstrBuffer = STRPTR(strBuffer)

    DO
    bResult = INET_Internet_ReadFile(hFile, pstrBuffer, len(strBuffer), cbBytesRead)
    IF bResult = 0 OR cbBytesRead = 0 THEN EXIT DO

    IF cbBytesRead = LEN(strBuffer) THEN
    strData &= strBuffer
    ELSE
    strData &= LEFT$(strBuffer, cbBytesRead)
    END IF

    TotalBytesRead += cbBytesRead

    doevents

    LOOP

    INET_Internet_CloseHandle hInternet
    INET_Internet_CloseHandle hFile

    function=UTF8ToAnsi$(strdata)
    end function[/code]
