How do I automatically download files from http server? urlread urlwrite

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi,
I know urlread and urlwrite to download files form server but my problem is how I can specify parts of a string resulting from urlread which contains the name of the file I am looking for.
Please see my code: path1 = 'http://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MOLT/MOD11C1.005/2013.01.01'; str = urlread(path1); urlwrite(path2, filename);
My problem is how to extract filenames with "hdf" extension from the string?
If you run the code you will see the string is:
HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN" html head of /MOLT/MOD11C1.005/2013.01.01</title /head body pre ******************************************************************************

I had to brute-force it to see how the file address was organised. It’s easier than I thought.
This works:
url = 'http://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MOLT/MOD11C1.005/2013.01.01/MOD11C1.A2013001.005.2013015221704.hdf';
urlwrite(url, 'MOD11C1.A2013001.005.2013015221704.hdf')

Still this answer is helpful for me since i was using urlwrite differently and the way you wrote makes thing easier for me as it goes directly to to the file and stores it! You two helped me a lot today. I really appreciate that.
