I was wondering if there is a way to run a batch file that would

open IE to a page (This part I know already)
Search a page for a file type
Download the file to a preselected location and then
Close

I am attempting to pull down virus definitions data from my corporate AV site and my FTP batch file seems to hang but I can bring up the site in my browser and download the file I need all day long.

Thanks for your help

RG

I'd write a program to do this without browser. See this thread: How to Open web-site/page through perl.
