can TW open a page via http link?

[John Johnson]

I'm guessing "no," but thought I'd ask..I can't get it to do it..

Thanks!

What exactly do you want it to do? To open a remote document's HTML, no, you can't. If you have write access to that file, and you can access it via FTP, TextWrangler DOES can open files remotely via FTP/SFTP.

Otherwise, you may want to just View Source the page in question (or use curl/wget) to pull down the HTML and then open the resulting file in TextWrangler.

basically I was hoping to grab a web page's source code by opening the web address of that page in text wrangler as a shorter way of getting the source code

thank you

You could write some AppleScript that would ask the user for the URL, then run a command using wget or curl to download the source from that URL and either insert it into the current document or create a new document out of it. It wouldn't require much to do.

File -> Open File by Name -> enter URL -> hit Open

or, from the command line (after installing the command line tools):

edit http://www.barebones.com/ (for example)

or (also from the command line)

curl http://www.barebones.com/ | edit

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
