Getting ASCII Output From Web (using wget)

[Remulac]

I am in the process of getting ASCII data down from a server that will
print out the ASCII version of a proprietary format when you click
"get ASCII" on the site. I'm trying to bring it down programattically
so that I get an ASCII file without displaying it in a window.

So far, I've used wget from a DOS batch file, but I'm having problems
when the URL has a "%" anywhere in it. How do I escape this
character? Beyond that, is there a slick way in .NET to do this? As
it stands, I'm just calling wget from the command line.

Hi Remulac,

I think that this is what you are looking for although there is more.
