Thanks for getting back to me. Here is a sample of what I want to download:
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/PHI/CFWPHI
What I want to do is save the file to my computer and then retrieve it later on using Internet Explorer. Is there a way I can take the file and save it as an html file?
Ah, weather data.. IE can read .txt files just fine, so if you want it as-is, can just save as .txt locally somewhere.
You might also look at something like (or search for others) Geo::WeatherNOAA to do the work of getting and parsing the data for you -- then you can create whatever formatted output you like.
