I have a local access point accessible via wifi. It has an accessible Ip Address at 192.168.91.1.
When this address is placed in the address bar of a browser as a number of text lines appear in the browser.
What I would like to do is to obtain this text using TCL because this text needs to be manipulated to make good sense out of it. I am able to do this with TCL. However, I have no idea how to obtain this text using TCL via an IP address.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
 
Are you using something like tclcurl to do this?
 
Unfortunately, I have never heard of tclcurl before.
I looked on the internet and although it looks complicated it might me what I need.
I am unable to find a download site. Could you provide a link?
I am using Windows 7.
 
I found another alternative. Found an application called wget.
It can be downloaded from here: A manual page can be found here:
Here is the snippet of code I used:
set line [exec wget.exe --no-check-certificate -q -O - --connect-timeout=30 -t 3 ]

This extracts the text from the website. Here I can now obtain the text I require from this website.

Thank you for making me look harder to find a solution.
 
I've only ever used wget on Linux. If you were on Linux, that is what I would have suggested. Didn't know there was a windows version too.
