Get text from .txt file

[perkymango]

Hey guys, I am new to forum. Can’t wait to help!

Anyways, I have an application with ApplescriptObjC (Cocoa) in Xcode. I was wondering how to fetch raw .txt from my website. The idea is that I use cPanel to create a .txt at [data.mywebsite.com/this/that/news.txt] This would allow me to edit it at my will. I have Webkit.framework installed to my project. I want it to fetch the .txt file, line by line, each line making a list.

Now, in theory, the .txt file is:

Headline 1
Headline 2
Headline 3

when the script fetches this, I want it to make a list

{"Headline 1", "Headline 2", "Headline 3"}

Hi,

welcome to MacScripter.

Please ask AppleScriptObjC related questions in the AppleScriptObjC forum.

You can download a text file from a website and get its paragraphs with

set theSource to do shell script "curl data.mywebsite.com/this/that/news.txt"
set theLines to paragraphs of theSource
