[General] Auto save link targets

[jordyvdboom]

Morning everyone,

I got a little problem with my links. Someone made a page with all his fonts-names and when you click on the specific name you can safe the font. This is not just 1 link, no there are like 200 links.

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
Link etc

My question is if there is a program that auto-reads the link files and saves the font on a certain directory.

Thanks for your time and all the best.
Jordy

Firstly, this is not the section to ask for programs. If the links are formatted as you have said then flashget does the job.
Secondly, you're missing tags.

To help you I would recommend learning a language and doing this yourself though.

First of all thank you for your reaction,

I thought "coders paradise" was used to ask questions about codes.. I thought of I could do it with something like C++ and that is a language if I am correct.

This problem could be solved by language but also with a original program. The answer you gave me has been taken with respect, but please do not say this is the wrong section since there are different ways to solve this.

It sure is possible, you can use any language that can retrieve the webpage and can parse it. Any decent language would be sufficient, including PHP.

Yes, C++ would be perfectly fine. You'll need to find a network library that supports HTML protocol, then you'd basically parse the file, find <a> tags and download anything between href=" and the following " (or single quotes, or none at all).

C# would make it easy. You could even read the html file as xml But yeah just execute a httpwebrequest to get the page.. extract the links and use a routine to download the links as files (I posted code recently in another thread to do that)
