Have you ever found a something on the web and wanted to download it but there isn’t a link? If you have the URL but don’t have a link that you can right-click to save, you can use this little MSH script:
Put the following into a file called download-file.msh:
.csharpcode
{
font-size: 0.85em;
color: black;
font-family: Courier New , Courier, Monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }
$webclient = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$start = $args[0].LastIndexOf("/") + 1
$len = $args[0].LastIndexOf("?") - $start
if( $len -lt 0 ) { $len = $args[0].Length - $start }
$target = [System.IO.Path]::Combine( $(get-location), $args[0].Substring( $start, $len ) )
$webclient.DownloadFile($args[0], $target)
Now from a MSH prompt you can type…
MSH:1> download-file "http://www.peterprovost.org/Skins/peter2/Images/Title.png"
…and it will download the header image from my blog to your current directory. You can use it with just about anything.
Enjoy!
