Is it 10 to 20K individual lines or one entire section? i.e. is the data in the same location, same format and just happens to rather long raw data?
Will a select all work on it before the copy?
you can get a cheapy laptop, but really seems like overkill since there’s already a $600+ computer hanging on your hip.[/quote]
Yes, it’s all in one window although it has obviously scrolled off the visible area. So, the idea is select all, copy, paste, save file. I’d like to be just that easy. A couple keystrokes.
At the risk of starting the flame wars over Apple which I don’t want to do, I’ll point out that the $600 computer on my hip is an iPhone and copy and paste is a pain, then what to paste it into? I have a text editor (textastic) so that’s doable. But then getting from the phone to the computer is a pain because iOS doesn’t have a finder. Yeah, it’s all doable, I grant you that. It’s just awfully clunky. I have a coworker who uses a laptop to do the same thing, and that has worked well for him, so I’m inclined to go that route.
Thanks for all the advice.[/quote]
So correct me if I’m wrong it sounds like what you need something that polls an HTTP url and grabs the response, saves the response, and then makes it available for a computer used elsewhere where you want to analyze data afterwards, right?
If so, I’m thinking you probably don’t need a laptop just to do this… Would a very simple app on a phone that polls the web url, grabs the HTTP response, and then at the the end of session, sends you an email and/or uploads to a cloud account (like google drive) work?
This shouldn’t be hard to do, on Android or iOS. If it was Android, I’d put something together for you in 10-15 minutes. For iOS, I need to fire up my old xCode IDE, which I’ve neglected for the last year… I don’t mind slapping an iOS project together. But, you’re going to have to sideload it yourself onto your phone, since no way I can get something like this onto the app store quickly.
