1. String search
Is there a simple way to search a file for a variable length string in a
file?
What I'm trying to do is download an html document off the internet, and
search the file for a string like:
"http://www.whatever.com/bleh/picture*.jpg", where the * is a pair of
numbers that change daily. If I could easily extract that, then it's
trivial to download the image.
If anyone's interested, it's a program to download the current strip from
User Friendly, http://www.userfriendly.org/, and place it as your desktop
background.
Regards,
Greg
