downloaded file content <> content url()

[jmburnod]

Hi All,
I downloaded a simple .txt file from an http url. I need to compare the content of downloaded file with the content of the file on the http.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "http://www.alternatic.ch/jmb/ecrireenpictos/ArchInstallEEP" & "/" & "listeFolderEEP2.txt" into tlisteFolderEEP2
   put url (tlisteFolderEEP2) into tListeInstall1
   put specialfolderpath("documents") & "/" & "listeFolderEEP2.txt" into tPathInstall
   libURLDownloadToFile tlisteFolderEEP2,tPathInstall
   wait 30
   put url("file:" & tPathInstall) into tListeInstall2
   put (tListeInstall1 = tListeInstall2) & cr & tListeInstall1 & cr & cr & tListeInstall2 -- return false, some cr disappear
end mouseUp

I expected get the same data in the file where i downloaded the file by libURLDownloadToFile and the data i obtained by "put url", but there is not the case.

What is the trick to avoid this ?

Thanks

Jean-Marc

Hi Jean-Marc,

I don't understand why you want this, but probably

Code: Select all

 put url("file:" & tPathInstall) into tListeInstall2

should be

Code: Select all

 put url("binfile:" & tPathInstall) into tListeInstall2

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi Mark
Yes. It is what i want

I don't understand why you want this

To compare the content of the file on the disk and the file on the server.

Thanks again

Jean-Marc,

Why would you want to compare two files that you have downloaded from the same location?

Mark,

Why would you want to compare two files that you have downloaded from the same location?

Because the file on the server can be changed and i want know if it changed or not.
