I'm trying to write a shell script to help me download a bunch of .zip files with dynamic address

However, whenever I run this wget gives me the following error
What does the error message mean? How can I fix my script?

Thanks in advance

use the -A option with file extn instead?

That doesn't appear to be the problem

both appear to work.

However,

won't work. Which leads me to believe that the problem is related to the double quotes. However they are necessary because I'm using it to interpret the $i variable.

Hi

Yes, the double quoting is the problem. Remove the ' ones and it should work. The error message means that wget gets the argument 'http://foo/get_file.php?file_name=bar_100.zip' - scheme missing means that it expects the argument to be http/ftp/https and so on, and 'https in no scheme.

wget -A.zip "http://foo/get_file.php?file_name=bar_100.zip"

Yea. It appears as though I was getting the need for single quotes mixed up. I thought that single quotes was required by wget to figure out what to do with dynamic addresses. Actually it's because stuff like shell is trying to interpret the ? and & that commonly show up in dynamic addresses and the single quotes are there to prevent shell from doing it.

Another fix I found was to make it as such:

so that it won't get confused by the other things in the dynamic address but will still know to interpret the $i.

Thanks for your help. Is there anyway to change the title to solved or something to that effect?
