I just tried the following out and it seems to work quite well (from Bob and Shane). curty@einstein:~$ file=cookbook.txt curty@einstein:~$ for chapternum in $(seq 1 45); do curl http://www.dsl.org/cookbook/cookbook_$chapternum.html | html2text >> $file; done I just typed it all out at the command line as the command in its present form seems to be more a less a one shot deal. If you wanted to make a script out of it, you'd put the following in a file, let's say "get_cooking.sh": #!/bin/bash file=cookbook.txt for chapternum in $(seq 1 45); do curl http://www.dsl.org/cookbook/cookbook_$chapternum.html | html2text >> $file; done Then make the file executable: chmod +x get_cooking.sh Then you either run it by typing "./get_cooking.sh" in the directory where "get_cooking.sh" is located, or you put the file somewhere in your path (I believe /usr/local/bin would be appropriate), and simply type "get_coodking.sh" at the command line. Anyway, I'm pretty ignorant and should've let somebody else pick up the ball! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
