Hi there,
I wonder if my request can be done in DOS script.Description:
I want to download mcafee program to my harddisk.The link is following.
http://www.mcafee.com/apps/download...I want to download the EXE file named "5300xdat.exe(Windows-Intel)". I will use this file to scan other files. You know the file name is always changed by its serial number. The previous one is 5299xdat.exe. I
would like to download the latest one. Is that possible?BTW, I tried to use Java and Perl to grab this page to get the filename, but failed because of its security.
Is there any way to run this script schedully
in Winxp and download the program automatically?
Thanks.Phil

Assuming that the numbering scheme is consistent...
::== getmcaf.bat
:: get McCaffee@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansionfor /f "tokens=* delims= " %%d in ('dir/b/on ????xdat.exe') do (
set latest=%%d
)
echo latest here is !latest!
set /a curr=!latest:~0,4!
set /a new=curr+=1
echo next number is !new!echo wget http://download.nai.com/products/li...

Thank Mechanix2Go!
The files are not in my local PC. I can not run
"dir" to find the latest one in this way.I have to install "mget" for windows to download the file.
Oh!! Can I run this script in FTP environment? Let me try. Maybe I run it in FTP.
Thanks again.

"The files are not in my local PC"
Where are they?
As to ftp, you can script that if McCaffee has a ftp site.

Hi M2,
Please click the following link.
You will see the link of "5301xdat.exe(Windows-Intel)"http://www.mcafee.com/apps/download...
That file is what I plan to download automatically. Sorry not explaining the question properly.
Another way is via FTP.
ftp://ftp.nai.com/virusdefs/4.x

That's why I tried to use FTP.Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks.

Same question: if the old files are not on your drive, where are they?

Hi M2,
The old file will be replaced by the newest one which is renamed as "antivirus.exe" in my PC. So only one file is there.
The whole diagram is like following.
[5301xdat.exe(Windows-Intel)]->Download from the Mcafee website->Save to c:\antivirus\5301xdat.exe
->Rename it as "antivirus.exe"->Done.The most difficult one is xxxxxdat.exe.
I cannot grab the dynamic file name from there web page or ftp command.Sorry confusing you before.
Thanks.
