Report or Notification of Temerature readings

When you state you would like to save the result to a program. What kind of program language are you refering to?
And yes, my code is compiled to an exe. The code is not visible, and the exeit's compressed for protection. Sure it can be debugged if you are used to use Olly Debugger.

I am currently trying to learn Linux and Paradox, both which apparently can be used to control the WC8 board.
Of course, I am sure any language could.
I do come from the Win world, but this may be a good time to dealph into Linux for the above reasons.
 
The only Language I know well is FoxPro - it was dismantled by Microsoft.
I know some Access/ VB, but know NOTHING about accessing internet based Microprocessors, though I have found a little interesting help in this area.
 
Basically, I wish to have a program run continuously, check on temp and humidity status, and appropriately act upon WC.
 
I certainly do NOT blame you for making the .exe available rather than the code - I am sure a ton of work went into it.
 
I do only need to know some basics and I think I am starting to learn some of them, again in Linux for now (though Linux is a REAL learning curve for me). Especially since I am closing on 60 - but, so far the noodle still works a bit.

Hi, why not do it simple and dirty, try out VB6. There is a ton of code on the web what will get you started. And, you can then convert to VB Express after a while...

Hi LarsK,
thank you for the info - I actually do have VB office suite but with Win 7 have a hard time getting it installed.
None the less, i now have a working code in Linux Bash - works great so far, even converts info into a csv file - now I am working on a few do while and if else statements and I should be cooking.
Eventually, if I get sick of Linux I will revert to VB, but had to get something going fast and at least now it's working.
Have to say, am a little impressed with Linux!

LarsK,
could you just give me one line example of storing  RESULT OF: WGET user=user password=password http://192.168.0.16/gett1.cga     successfully to a variable?

 

[LarsK]

Well, I get the results stored in a listbox. Then I just save the listbox data to a txt file.
I'm using variables for what to log and login info. cgi1 variable can be like:

cgi1 = "geto1.cgi"

UserN = Username
Pass= The password for logging in nd so on (IP)

EX = Inet1.OpenURL("http://" & UserN & colon & Pass & "@" & IP & "/" & cgi1 & "")

Saving the list:

Call xSaveList(CmDialog1.FileName, List1)

Hope this helps, but I don't think so since I'm using VB with developed code for grabbing data from the listbox.

LarsK,
No, I think I can do something with this! TYVM - I have never tried to connect to a website with VB and this does help - certainly gets me in the right direction.
Have been playing with Linux Bash code and must say, not the easiest coding, but very practical!

To connect to internet, use the "MSINET.ocx"
Just to get you started got to:http://planet-source-code.com
There you will find a ton of examples using this ocx.

TY very much, LarsK,
 
I will do some reading this weekend - never knew this site existed!
 
He had 14 inches of snow and it is Thanksgiving Holiday today over here, so, computer time will be limited.
