Thanks Kjell

I use Clarion 6.1 from SoftVelocity (www.softvelocity.com).

I need to get this running pretty quickly and so want to get the command
line stuff running first. I can easily parse text files and run command
line programs from within my program - so no problems there.

Later on when I have a first working solution then I shall try to get it
working with libcurl and get it properly integrated.

What kind of programming language do you use?
It shouldn't be hard to parse the output instead of assuming a fixed place
for the filename.

If it solves your problem, then it is. I would do it more or less like
that.
