I’ve been trying to use the WIL32OLE to call the  
InternetExplorer.ExecCommand SaveAs command.  
I’ve been able to get it to work in the interface mode  
where it displays a dialogue browser to save the file,  
but have been unable to get it to work in  
non-interface mode where you pass it the file to save  
to.

Following is an extract of the code I am using.

require ‘win32ole’  
ie = WIN32OLE.new(‘InternetExplorer.Application’)  
ie.visible = true

myUrl = “[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”

ie.navigate myUrl  
sleep 1

ie.document.execCommand(“SaveAs”,false,“C:\derek\myFile.htm”)
