Download a file programmatically

[Cisco]

Hi all,

I'm trying to read data in a file stored on the system of my enterprise. I've a link like this: "http:\ged\management\entites\fupeng\PdT\Organisation\file.txt". I've tried to use this link as path for my reading function, but it doesn't run. I've clearly to first download the file from the link to a local repository. But I don't find how to make...

I'm workin with LabVIEW 2014 SP1.

Thanks per advance!

Could it be as simple as requiring the source URL to start "http:\\<share>\<path to file>"?  Try adding the second backslash just after the "http:".

Thank you!

It was just a syntax issue. I've replaced "http:\" by "\\".

Bye!
