The error message at the bottom of v352 window ,unless I've misunderstood how to use httpget$ in lb5 it fails to retrieve the url.
Url not found...
The code works in lb4.5

I'm not sure it can, actually, at least not at the moment.
I think the RUN command is still the Run BASIC interpretation, not the LB4 one. (That is, it loads other LB modules, it doesn't run external executables.)
Obviously that's on the roadmap of fixing, but I'm not sure it has been yet.
Could easily be misremembering, though.
Nevermind, misremembering. LB4's RUN was added in build 350.

The following works fine for me on CentOS. run "wget -O myfile.txt https://libertybasiccom.proboards.com/posts/recent"
input "Press Enter to see the contents of myfile.txt"; a$
open "myfile.txt" for input as #web
print input$(#web, lof(#web))
close #web

PS- I wondered why the wget method did't seem to work for me on Linux Mint, LB 4.t, then realised I was trying to read the file before wget had finished downloading it!

wget works great. The problem is you have to run wget to get the page downloaded and then you have to parse it with LB, which means you have to pause the program because LB will get ahead of wget and try to read a file that isn't there yet. I haven't done it in awhile, but I've run shell scripts through LB5 in LinuxLiteOS. One thing I sometimes forget is to mark the script file executable before trying to run it. If it isn't marked executable it won't run. If your creating the shell script from within LB and you then want to run it, you will probably have to figure out how to use sudo (superuser) from within LB. Not sure how you would pass your user password to it, but I would think there's probably a way to do it. Also, if I remember right, programs or scripts in the current path need to be called using "./filename" rather than just "filename". Either that or using the full path to the script should work. |

I'll have to try it in this new version. I tend to use that command a lot. EDIT: Cool! I just tried it and it works! Loaded up Mozilla Firefox! Awesome! |
