Please respond to Susie Moyer <smoyer@ITR-LLC.C OM>

What is the best way to read in a .txt file from a hyperlink? I need to read a document from the GPOAccess web site and the say the documents cannot be bookmarked. They have however genereted the URL. Here is an example: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/get-cfr.cgi? TITLE=15&PART=325&SECTION=6&TYPE=TEXT. Can I do this from within SAS or will I have to download each file using my webrowser and then process the downloaded file in SAS?

Thanks for any help, Susie
