Hi indrajit,

there's a function "Format Date/Time string" in the time palette. Use this to format your address string with system date/time in it. Then use the datasocket read to retrieve the webpage/audio file.

There are other threads on using datasocket functions, I think there's also an application note...

The attached picture shows the same using the "Format into string" function, the "get image" vis are using the datasocket read function. (The website address may have changed, it's an older version of my Daily Dilbert )
