URLWRITE Retrieve a URL into a File
Section: Input/Ouput Functions
Usage
Given a URL and a timeout, attempts to retrieve the URL and write the contents to a file. The syntax isf = urlwrite(url,filename,timeout)
The timeout
is in milliseconds. Note that the URL must be a complete
spec (i.e., including the name of the resource you wish to retrieve). So
for example, you cannot use http://www.google.com
as a URL, but must
instead use http://www.google.com/index.html
.
