I have a local access point accessible via wifi. It has an accessible Ip Address at 192.168.91.1.
When this address is placed in the address bar of a browser as a number of text lines appear in the browser.
What I would like to do is to obtain this text using TCL because this text needs to be manipulated to make good sense out of it. I am able to do this with TCL. However, I have no idea how to obtain this text using TCL via an IP address.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
 
Unfortunately, I have never heard of tclcurl before.
I looked on the internet and although it looks complicated it might me what I need.
I am unable to find a download site. Could you provide a link?
I am using Windows 7.
 
I found another alternative. Found an application called wget.
It can be downloaded from here: A manual page can be found here:
Here is the snippet of code I used:
set line [exec wget.exe --no-check-certificate -q -O - --connect-timeout=30 -t 3 ]

This extracts the text from the website. Here I can now obtain the text I require from this website.

Thank you for making me look harder to find a solution.
 
I've only ever used wget on Linux. If you were on Linux, that is what I would have suggested. Didn't know there was a windows version too.
