HOWTO open URL

[dave]

I am trying to open a url and read the data into a string.

for example,
I want to see the raw html within www.sourceforge.com put into a String.
Then I'll parse out the data I need.

thanks for any help.

Re: HOWTO open URL

Do you want all of it put
into one string or do you
want to read it a line at a time?

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.sourceforge .com");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamRead er(

Re: HOWTO open URL

You can do the following

URL url = new URL(urlString);
InputStream in = url.openStream( );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamRead er(in));
while ( (aLine = br.readLine()) != null ) {
//do something with aLine
}

Hope this helps,
