How do I Export[] hyperlinks that I've gotten from an Import[]?

Posted 10 years ago
In a Mathematica notebook, I enter and evaluation the following code, :   url = "http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/AlphabeticalListing.html"
fileName = "C:\Projects\Wolfram\AlphabeticalListing.txt"
links = Import[url, "Hyperlinks"]
lEx = Export[fileName, links]

The following is a partial example of what I get for output from the "links=" line above:

{"http://www.wolfram.com/", "http://www.wolfram.com/products/",
"http://www.wolfram.com/products/",
"http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/",
"http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/education/students/",
"http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica-home-edition/",
"http://www.wolfram.com/cdf-player/", "http://www.wolfram.com/cdf/",

A partial example of the output in the text file for the "lEx=" line above is:

{" Index of All New Functions ", {{"AbelianGroup", "AllowedDimensions", "Arg"}, {"Abort", "AllowGroupClose", "ArgMax"}, {"AbortKernels", "AllowReverseGroupClose", "ArgMin"}, {"AbortProtect", "AlphaChannel", "ARIMAProcess"},

Obviously, the two are not the same.  How do I output to a text file, these hyperlinks from the Import[] line?

I just checked and it seems to work fine for me (V 10.2 Mac OSX). I also just fixed the unintended carriage return in (this is the correct version)

url = "http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/AlphabeticalListing.html"

in my original post.

Perhaps a Wolfram person in this list can check whether there is a Windows vs Mac issue at play here.

David, I entered your code in v10.2 (Windows 8.1) and got the same result as Baruch.

What version of Mathematica are you using?    Your code works fine for me...
 In[9]:= url = "http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/AlphabeticalListing.html"
 
 
 Out[9]= "http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/AlphabeticalListing.html"
 
 
 In[10]:= fileName = "/Users/dreiss/Desktop/AlphabeticalListing.txt"
 
 
Out[10]= "/Users/dreiss/Desktop/AlphabeticalListing.txt"


In[11]:= links = Import[url, "Hyperlinks"];


In[12]:= lEx = Export[fileName, links]




Out[12]= "/Users/dreiss/Desktop/AlphabeticalListing.txt"


In[13]:= FilePrint[%]

(* truncating the output here...  *)

If you are using an earlier version of Mathematica than 9 and it's having a hard time figuring out the export format, you might want to be more explicit by using 
lEx = Export[fileName, links, "Lines"]


But what you are getting suggests to me that  you had actually executed 
links = Import[url, "Data"]
which would give the result that you got.

I hope this helps....
