Hi,
I am fairly new to python and i am looking for a python script to download latest build from the server. But, the build name changes daily. For Ex: today the build URL will be "http://mybuilds/myapp_1234.exe" and tomorrow it will be "http://mybuilds/myapp_3456.exe". So i need a script which downloads the latest build without any knowledge of build number.
Can anyone help me?
Advance thanks,
Murali

Hello Murali,
I think what you want to achieve is pretty hard (the number part).
Actually fetching a file from a server is pretty straight forward in Python
just import urllib2 and play around a little bit. There are also pretty simple and good tutorials online e.g. http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/urllib2.shtml which probably is enough for your purpose.
Now for the number part.
Did you find a pattern after which the number is generated? If so try to get a loop working or write a simple function which generates the number and passes the number via a return to the function with the urllib2 file fetching part. If there is no pattern you don't have a chance. Maybe if you have a HTML-file which links to this file you might want to try to work with regular expressions finding the number or the whole link in question
Your file
