p.s. in case it helps anyone else who's come across this issue, below is a script that changes a file from (for example) "ASCII text, with CR line terminators" to just "ASCII test"

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# chng2ascii.sh
# if the text has only CR newlines, by converting all CR newlines to LF with
# more at https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Newline

printf "What is the name of the inputfile? ->"

read inputfile

printf "What is the name of the outputfile? ->"

read outputfile

tr '\r' '\n' < $inputfile > $outputfile

Well in case you are interested, I did a little bid of poking around and below seems to do what you require:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

for full_url in $(< urls.txt)
do      

# remove the protocol
        url=${full_url#*//}
# extract the host
        host=${url%%/*}

        date=$(date +%s)

        wget -O "${host}${date}".png --user-agent="" "pdfmyurl.com?url=$url&--png&--page-size=A1&--redirect-delay=500"

done
This is based on the url file you showed previously.
