Need to know if this is possible.

Can turing could read the contens of a webpage into a string.

Yes, it is.

As Tony said, yes. Look at the Net set of commands in the Turing help.

And what Tony is hinting at is that you should ask what you really mean: "how do I do X?"

ok thank you I figured it out however turing does get some html but its not right.

for exemple getting google.ca for me gets

<HTML><HEAD><meta
http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<TITLE>302
Moved</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H1>302
Moved</H1>
The
document
has
moved
<A
HREF="http://www.google.ca/index.html">here.
</BODY></HTML>

but should get

<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><title>Google</title><script>window.google={kEI:"3ksPSaflB5HSgAL44tiDAg",kEXPI:"19021",kHL:"en"};
function sf(){document.f.q.focus()}
window.rwt=function(b,d,e,g,h,f,i){var a=encodeURIComponent||escape,c=b.href.split("#");b.href="/url?sa=t"+(d?"&oi="+a(d):"")+(e?"&cad="+a(e):"")+"&ct="+a(g)+"&cd="+a(h)+"&url="+a(c[0]).replace(/\+/g,"%2B")+"&ei=3ksPSaflB5HSgAL44tiDAg"+(f?"&usg="+f:"")+i+(c[1]?"#"+c[1]:"");b.onmousedown="";return true};
window.gbar={};(function(){var b=window.gbar,f,h;b.qs=function(a){var c=window.encodeURIComponent&&(document.forms[0].q||"").value;if(c)a.href=a.href.replace(/([?&])q=[^&]*|$/,function(i,g){return(g||"&")+"q="+encodeURIComponent(c)})};function j(a,c){a.visibility=h?"hidden":"visible";a.left=c+"px"}b.tg=function(a){a=a||window.event;var c=0,i,g=window.navExtra,d=document.getElementById("gbi"),e=a.target||a.srcElement;a.cancelBubble=true;if(!f){f=document.createElement(Array.every||window.createPopup?"iframe":"div");f.frameBorder="0";f.src="#";d.parentNode.appendChild(f).id="gbs";if(g)for(i in g)d.insertBefore(g[i],d.firstChild).className="gb2";document.onclick=b.close}if(e.className!="gb3")e=e.parentNode;do c+=e.offsetLeft;while(e=e.offsetParent);j(d.style,c);f.style.width=d.offsetWidth+"px";f.style.height=d.offsetHeight+"px";j(f.style,c);h=!h};b.close=function(a){h&&b.tg(a)}})();</script></head><body bgcolor=#ffffff text=#000000 link=#0000cc vlink=#551a8b alink=#ff0000 onload="sf();if(document.images){new Image().src='/images/nav_logo3.png'}" topmargin=3 marginheight=3><div id=gbar><nobr>Web <a href="http://images.google.ca/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb1>Images <a href="http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&tab=wl" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb1>Maps <a href="http://news.google.ca/nwshp?hl=en&tab=wn" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb1>News <a href="http://video.google.ca/?hl=en&tab=wv" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb1>Video Gmail <a href="http://www.google.ca/intl/en/options/" onclick="this.blur();gbar.tg(event);return !1" class=gb3>more <small>▼</small><div id=gbi> <a href="http://groups.google.ca/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb2>Groups <a href="http://books.google.ca/bkshp?hl=en&tab=wp" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb2>Books <a href="http://scholar.google.ca/schhp?hl=en&tab=ws" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb2>Scholar <a href="http://finance.google.ca/finance?hl=en&tab=we" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb2>Finance <a href="http://blogsearch.google.ca/?hl=en&tab=wb" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb2>Blogs <div class=gb2><div class=gbd></div></div> <a href="http://ca.youtube.com/?hl=en&tab=w1" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb2>YouTube Calendar <a href="http://picasaweb.google.ca/home?hl=en&tab=wq" onclick=gbar.qs(this) class=gb2>Photos Documents Sites <div class=gb2><div class=gbd></div></div> even more »</div> </nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div align=right id=guser style="font-size:84%;padding:0 0 4px" width=100%><nobr>josh65665@gmail.com | iGoogle | My Account | <a href="/accounts/ClearSID?continue=http://www.google.com/accounts/Logout%3Fcontinue%3Dhttp://www.google.ca/">Sign out</nobr></div><center><br clear=all id=lgpd><img alt="Google" height=110 src="/intl/en_ca/images/logo.gif" width=276><br><br><form action="/search" name=f><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign=top><td width=25%> </td><td align=center nowrap><input name=hl type=hidden value=en><input maxlength=2048 name=q size=55 title="Google Search" value=""><br><input name=btnG type=submit value="Google Search"><input name=btnI type=submit value="I'm Feeling Lucky"></td><td nowrap width=25%><font size=-2>  Advanced Search<br>  Preferences<br>  Language Tools</font></td></tr><tr><td align=center colspan=3><font size=-1><span style="text-align:left">Search: <input id=all type=radio name=meta value="" checked><label for=all> the web </label><input id=cty type=radio name=meta value="cr=countryCA"><label for=cty> pages from Canada </label></span></font></td></tr></table></form><br><font size=-1>Google.ca offered in: Fran?ais </font><br><br><br><font size=-1>Advertising Programs - Business Solutions - About Google - Go to Google.com</font><p><font size=-2>©2008 - Privacy</font></p></center></body></html>

heres the code Im using

code:

var url : string
put "Enter the URL to load: " ..
get url

var netStream : int
var line : string

netStream := Net.OpenURLConnection (url)
if netStream <= 0 then
put "Unable to connect to ", url
return
end if
loop
exit when eof (netStream)
get : netStream, line
put line
end loop
Net.CloseConnection (netStream)

This was taken right from the help file

I think when you say google.ca, it's going to google.ca and the source there redirects you to the real Google webpage you're thinking of. But Turing is not an internet browser so it does not interpret the HTML so it brings this back. A lot of websites do this.

josh_65665 · **Posted:** Mon Nov 03, 2008 5:17 pm

But if I get it to go to the link in the given page it doesent work.

This happens with all websites it wont get the proper html

jbking · **Posted:** Mon Nov 03, 2008 5:41 pm

How sure are you of having the proper URL and proper user agent in getting the HTML back? Don't forget that sites may detect what is looking on the site and change its appearance accordingly as well as needing to get to the proper spot on the site.

Did you try using http://www.google.ca/index.html rather than just "http://google.ca"?

Yes as I have said it doesnt work with any url.
