Abstract
A data receiving apparatus writes only a necessary part of data received via a communication network or the like in a file. Start indicating information and end indicating information located before and after character string data to be downloaded are previously stored or registered in a RAM (random access memory) of a personal computer. Character string data received via a communication control section is temporarily stored in a reception buffer, and the start indicating information and end indicating information are detected from the received character string data. Then, character string data located between the start indicating information and end indicating information is extracted from the received character string data and the extracted character string data is downloaded into a file. Since a necessary part of the received data is written in a file, the file size is prevented from increasing and a user need not instruct the start and end of the desired character string data to be received, thus significantly simplifying the instructing operation.
