[Closed] How to download multiple files from a web server

from stackoverflow

Thank you.
I know nothing about c# and can’t find a way to convert this to maxscript, or to be used in a script.

(
  	url = "http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/";
  	request = (DotNetClass "System.Net.WebRequest").Create(url);
  	response = request.GetResponse();
  	reader = DotNetObject "System.IO.StreamReader"  (response.GetResponseStream());
  	html = reader.ReadToEnd();
  	regex = DotNetObject "System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex" "<a href=\".*\">(?<name>.*)</a>"
  	matches = regex.Matches html;
  	for i = 0 to matches.count - 1 do print matches.Item[i].Groups.Item["name"].value;
  )	

obviously you’ll need to add some error checking and tailor the regex expression to your own particular html format.

Thank you.
