Let's assume the website's URL is www.something.com that website has file (or folder where i want the files inside), the content of the file itself is pretty simple and something like:

Jim/23

ALEX0/TY3

R677/r1

what i want to do is put all that content in a list so we'll end up having:

test_list = [Jim/23,ALEX0/TY3,R677/r1]

You can use some web scraping tools like ScrapeStorm , which I think can save a lot of time.
