BizzarTech presents WebGrabber!
August 14, 2008, 8:52 am

WebGrabber is a command line tool I just made that allows me to give it a url and have it connect to the internet and grab the web page returned. This isn’t fully tested, but the uses for this are fairly open. Basically, I am using this along with scheduled tasks to open a web page and perform an action every so often. This is useful for web based scheduled tasks such as monitoring or creating a custom cron solution for a server that does not provide this functionality. If the system hosting this little app can see the web page, this thing will grab it.

Usage: WebGrabber.exe [URL] [0/1]

The URL should be a full URL that starts with http:// or https://. The 0/1 option is to tell the exe to either return just the text, or the full html that is returned  by the web page. This is my first little .net app I’ve written, but it was fun. I know there are other solutions out there with more capability, but I was shooting for a single purpose in mind and wanted to make my own. And this is it!

This site is my professional blog (not to be confused with my personal site that I share with my wife). I’m putting this together so I have a place to dump my tech stuff and geeky stuff that I find. My family enjoys the things I do offline, but my online life has really taken on a life of its own and I want this site to relfect that. Below are some documents (mostly useful tips I find on the internet and mirror incase they disappear) and some updates from some of my othe projects. I have a lot of stuff I’d like to share with the world so hopefully this doesn’t become a pain. I’ll post more when I get a little more time. Thanks for stopping by!!
