Load web-page (HTTP/HTTPS) into a text variable

[aarons]

I need to load a web-page into a text variable.

Pretty sure this is not a native function of Macro Express Pro, so I would rely on an external script.

I've tried this simple bit of code, but getting an error:

set xmlhttp = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHttp.6.0")
xmlhttp.open "get", "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome", false
xmlhttp.send
strOutput = xmlhttp.responseText

msgbox strOutput

There error (found in console output) is "C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\temp\msesc13.vbs(3, 1) msxml6.dll: Access is denied

 

What did I do wrong?

You can do it with Macro Express Pro (or Macro Express 3) if you are content with a non-programmatic solution.

 

Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <ALT>d // Go to address bar. Normally, it's selected by default
Clipboard Copy
Variable Set String %Address% from the clipboard contents

For my application, I really need the HTML. And need to do without without opening a browser window.
