Hey, I need help on the following:
I have a .txt file with many URLs where each line is a diferent URL. Each URL contains only a bunch of text and numbers, nothing else. How do I create a function that reads that same .txt file, accesses each one those URLs and saves to my desktop a .txt that contains the data from that URL. One .txt file per URL.
Thank you for you time.

Did you check the help for fgetl()?
fid = fopen('fgetl.m');
urlString= fgetl(fid);
while ischar(urlString)
disp(urlString)
urlString = fgetl(fid);
webPageContents = urlread(urlString);
% Save it, or whatever.....
end
fclose(fid);
