Hey Miguel,
I don't think that automator action will take a file as input, but I'm not
absolutely certain.
In any case I think you should bite the bullet and learn a little more shell
scripting – since you're already using wget.
I'm just playing around here a bit to show you what's easily accomplished.
You can run these conveniently in a BBEdit worksheet to see what they do.
filePath=~/Downloads/MA_NO_2021_05_011.xml
# Prints the found pattern in the given text file.
grep -E -o -e 'http.+ImagenFichaServlet[^]]+' "$filePath"
filePath=~/Downloads/MA_NO_2021_05_011.xml
# Prints the line after the found pattern along with the found text.
grep -E -A 1 -o 'Denominación' "$filePath"
filePath=~/Downloads/MA_NO_2021_05_011.xml
# Prints the line after the found pattern then deletes the detritus.
sed -n '/Denominación/{n;p;}' "$filePath" \
| sed -E 's!.+\[|\].+!!g'
The output of these is easily redirected to files.
Your wget downloader can follow the extract-text segments.
You can rename your files using wget itself, or you can follow-on with a rename
script.
Personally I'd do all of this in Bash.
That said let me recommend Keyboard Maestro
<https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/> to you as a great tool for getting real
work done on a Mac. In my expert opinion it's currently the Best-of-Breed Mac
Automation Utility. (Commercial $36.00 US.)
It's a bit like Automator on steroids, and I've been a happy superuser for
about 17 years now.
Like BBEdit it runs 24/7 on my Macs.
