If you need to get a string then use

callRemote  

you can call the page that conation the real time and then return the result to LUA script using the callBack function

see the wiki example it may help you

After reading the wiki I'm still kinda confused, can you teach me more? Here is what I want to do, for example this page here http://www.weather.com/weather/today/l/SPMD0627:1:SP I want to get the temperature string from this web, how should I do it? Again, thank you very much!
