If it is a stream then you can use adodb.stream class. Write the data received to it, set the character set and read back as text.

I had already worked with Streams.

I did the normal procedure. This is not the exact code but it was something like this.

teste = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream");
teste.Type = 1;
teste.Open();
teste.Write(resposta.ResponseBody);
teste.Type = 2;
teste.Charset = "ascii"
teste.Position = 0;
teste2 = teste.Read()

I cannot handle the Stream yet!
1) I set it as binary (coz binary is the only data I know that is correct).
2) Opened the Stream
3) Shoved the binary array

Everything ok till here! I checked with the Script Editor of MSFrontPage.

4) Tried to chage it back to Text. But it returns error here!
5) Would then set the charset to iso latin-1.
6) Would read the text with the correct ISO.

Do you know how to convert binary data inside a Stream into text?

Thx!

AH!!! I did IT!!

ehehe

I just had to change the Position property to 0 [u]before</u> converting the Stream back to TEXT!

It's ok now!!

Thanks for your quite responses man! this was like MIRC chatting! :)

OK for future use to other guys this is the final code:
This script gets any Text file from a remote server anyware and saves it into a file in your hard drive.

The function:
function GetNewData(address,fileloc) {
    var objFSO, resposta, temp, TextFile;

    try {
        temp = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream");
        objFSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
        resposta = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        TextFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(fileloc);

        resposta.open("GET",address,false);
        resposta.send();

        temp.Type = 1;
        temp.Open();
        temp.Write(resposta.ResponseBody);
        temp.Position = 0;
        temp.Type = 2;
        temp.Charset = "ascii";

        TextFile.write(temp.ReadText());
        temp.Close()
        TextFile.Close();
    }
    catch(e){
        alert("Failure while updating the DataBase!\nDescription: "+e.description);
        return;
    }
}

The Caller:
GetNewData("http://someserver/yourpage.html" , "c:\\yourfolder\\yourfile.EXT");

OK! That's All Folks! :)

Thanks, that was just the push I needed.

When I changed the Charset to "iso-8859-1", I could save the verbatim file sent by the server, in my case a JPG image.
