Dear All,
thanks for the previous suggestions all of them worked.
I have a long list of elements (I just took two as example)
data4 = {{"050318", "111529"}, {"050401", "113120"}} and I
would like to add in the second element 00
When I try
Do[
ID = data4[[i, 2]];
s = Import["http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_curves/"; <> 00 ID, "Text"];
Print[s],
{i, 1,
Length[data4]}]
This does,'t work
As well as the following:
Do[
ID = data4[[i, 2]];
s = Import["http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_curves/"; <> "00" ID, "Text"];
Print[s],
{i, 1,
Length[data4]}]
As well as this again
Do[
ID = data4[[i, 2]];
s = Import["http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_curves/"; <> "00ID", "Text"];
Print[s],
{i, 1, Length[data4]}]
Is it a problem of the position of " " or something else?
Thanks a lot,
regards,
Maria

Maria:
Try
data4 = {{"050318", "00111529"}, {"050401", "00113120"}};
Do[
ID = data4[[i, 2]];
url = "http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_curves/"; <> ID ;
s = Import[url, "Text"];
Print[s],
{i, 1, Length[data4]}
]
The string join you were attempting did not work. I moved the concatenation
of the url string external to the Import this way if you wish to test if the
url exist before import
you can. Somewhere on
MathGroup there is code to
test for existence of a URL.

Dear Math Group,
I have a problem importing the data from a web page.
data4 = {{"050318", "00111529"}, {"050401", "00113120"}}
Do[
ID = data4[[i, 2]];
s = Import["http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_curves/<>ID<>", "Text"];
Print[s],
{i, 1, Length[data4]}]
The error message is
$Failed
I am really grateful if you could help
me
Best regards,
Maria
