Is this possible using ASP?

Wow have not posted in here for a while, anyhow.

This is probably quite simple, been done in PHP I know.

I want a small script that will fetch its text from a .txt file somewhere on the internet.

I have no idea how to phrase it any better.

Thanks if anyone can help, my mind is going in circles.

I must be very slow, I can't for the life of me get it to work.

Anybody able to spend 10 minutes to talk me through it as I can not find a guide?

not slow mate, just looking in the wrong place

the file system object only works on the local machine and you seem to want to open/read a file from somewhere else on the internet

take a look at this xml linky
