Is there a way to create a batch file that when it looks something up on a website, and find a picture, text or something there, that it takes action to it, like, when it found the pictures the batch should GOTO:Choice1 and when not GOTO:Choice2 ?

You can Use `Curl` or `Wget` to download the source of the page and then aplly a `find` against the downloaded XML. – SachaDee Jul 26 '14 at 15:07

Here an example :
@echo off
curl URL_of_Your_Web_site>File.xml
findstr /i "the string to search" file.xml && echo string found || echo string not found
If you have to make a LOGIN in the Web site you have to download first the cookie with your ID and Password.

curl no need installation it's an `.exe` : http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?download=curl_737_0.zip&PHPSESSID=08556dc20264adcaadf71c1ba53cdb4d – SachaDee Jul 26 '14 at 17:41

Yes, @tanckom that's the only way. Or you can integrate curl in HEXA in your bat and reconstruct it when you're bat is executed. – SachaDee Jul 26 '14 at 19:51
