Save Web Pages

Internet Macros automatically downloads and saves web pages for you.

Web page download

To save a web page insert the "SAVEAS" command into the macro,

Options:

(a) SAVEAS TYPE=FILE

You can download web pages with the iOpus Downloader. The iOpus Downloader saves the HTML of the web page. Images are not saved. Also, since the iOpus Downloader creates a second (new) connections to the web page, it can fail in certain situations. where the second connection results in a different web page.

Advantages:
·Simultaneous download and Internet Macros runs are possible  
·Fast  

Disadvantage:
·Can fail in on certain websites (e. g. www.google.com)  

Note: This command can also used to save any type of file that is displayed in the browser. Normally this is a "HTML" type file (web page), but it can also be a picture (JPG, GIF, BMP,...).

(b) SAVEAS TYPE=FOLDER

This command invokes the internal Internet Explorer "SaveAs" command. So you will get exactly the same result as if you use the Internet Explorer "Save As" command. Web pages and images are saved. This command does not reload the web page.

Advantages:
·Works on every website  
·Images elements are saved  

Disadvantage:
·Only one macro can that uses this feature should run at a time  


Tip: The download directory can be changed with the "SET !DDIR c:\myfolder\" command.
