Dos command to Save the website content

[Dani-with-google]

Dear all,

Can anyone help me out please.

I want to run a DOS command in the command line WinXp and Win2K which
will copy the content of the website as an text file.

For example when I go to the website www.whatismyip.com I get the
Public IP of my internet connection. So these content which is
displayed has to be saved as a text file and saved in a particular
location. I want to do this operation in the command line using some
DOS command.

Please help me out. I very much need them very urgently.

Thanks so much in advanced.

You're SOL because XP doesn't use DOS.

There is, of course, no DOS under WinXP, only a Command
Prompt. I don't think there are any native Windows commands
that will do what you're trying to do but if you tell us more
specifically what you need your external address for then someone
may be able to suggest a suitable solution. It could be as simple as
extracting a number out of a ping command.

Go to www.whatismyip.com

Click on: Copy Your IP

Or highlight: Your IP Is whatever, right click and select Copy.

Paste it into Notepad.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Ignore all this
"Well We know there isn't anything we call DOS, and if you were
just as smart as we are you would call what looks the same as DOS
to you what we call it" crap.

Google for wget, and find an XP compatible binary.

I hope this posting actually helps you get what you need done.

Thanks Don, It really worked and thanks a lot for understanding me what
I really wanted to communicate, as I was not really putting out the
correct technical words. Thanks a lot once again.
