loading a string into a variable from the web

[marev]

Hi there,

I've been trying to set up a string into a variable, the string having been gotten from a text file on a web site.

servinput=new String ( loadVariables ("http://www.sitename.com/filename.txt", " ", "GET") );

Is this impossible, or is it possible and I'm just doing it wrong?

Thanks for any thoughts or advice!

you're doing it wrong.
you setup your text file like this:
variable1=value blah blah&variable2=some other junk
where the ampersand (&) marks the end of a variable and the beginning of the next. Then you just use
loadVariablesNum ("file.txt", 0);
which will load in and establish variable with those names and values.

Oh my brain hurts, it should have been so obvious.

Thanks!
