wget command help
 

Hi, got a real newbie question here..
When using wget, what are the wildcards in the command?
it doesn't seem to say anything about wildcards in the help..

i.e. if i want to get pages foo1.html to foo19.html from http://www.randomsite.com/~jim/foo???.html
what are the wildcards i put instead of ???

edit: removed extra q'n /edit

thanks,

wget can't do that... lok at curl though, that'll do exactly what you're after.

heh, i know that it does it, because my brother always uses wget to save that way.. i just wish i could remember the wildcards he used..

just remembered, twas maybe images he saved, not websites... not sure.. it works for one website, and recursively for images..
hmmms..

wget can do recursive gets using the -m option, but i really don't think it can actually handle patterns

okee doke. thanks for your help :)
ill have a go.. if it doesnt work, ill just go thru one by one.. or have a look at curl
--m.v

In fact....
you can use shell script to do that
For example:

#!/bin/bash

for (( i = 1; i <= 19; i++ ))
do
wget -c -t 0 http://www.randomsite.com/~jim/foo$i.html
done
:D :D

wget -r -l 2 http://www.randomsite.com/~jim/

but I believe that will pull everything 2 levels down from that URL, that might be much more than the specific files munkee was looking to grab.... (pls correct me if I'm wrong)
