Hi All,

I am wondering what the simpliest tool or best way is to go to website
using a program or tool and either:
a) saving the file at the URL ( In this case a ***.txt file is the url)
so it would be something like http:// www.testsite.com/testfile.txt .
This file is a simple pipe delimited text file with some rudimentary
data on it. I would like to automate this process so that whatever tool
I use goes to the site once every minute to get an update and saves the
file to my ftp. FOllowing that I have to put this data into an xls file

b) Mine the above data and delimit it and send it to an xls or html
file.


Any thoughts, not looking to do much coding here just a tool to use if
possible to automate this process, will buy if need to.
