download csv and save

[rlemoine002]

Hi, I'm using Labview 2013, and would like to download a csv file from Yahoo finance.

I've been doing a lot of reading and much trial and error, and still come up with a 1082 error, parsing the URL.

Would anybody have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

My Block diagram is attached.

It seems to me that this should be a simple enough process.  Just that I'm missing something.

Thank you in advance.

One question would be "Why do this with LabVIEW?  What's wrong with Internet Explorer?"  [Well, you would probably write an essay about the second question ...].

I've not tried doing this with LabVIEW, but I wonder if you need "http://" at the start of the address to make a valid URL?

I would expect you would.

You could also try using the HTTP GET Vi and parsing from there.

Good evening.  Thank you to both of you for mentioning about putting the HTTP at the beginning of the string.  This did the trick.

Attached is a screenshot of the workinf VI.

Thanks again.
