Okay, I haven't tried it, but I actually don't like changing the language of
a program, so I created a small reg exp that extracts the byte number
printed by wget.
Assuming that line with filesize is something like
L�nge: 123,456 (unma�geblich)
or
L�nge: 654,321 [application/x-rpm]
or
Length: 987.654.321 (whatever)
this statement will return the byte size, if the line is stored in $line:
echo $line | perl -pe 'use locale;s?^\w+:\s([\d,.]+)\s[[(][\w/-]+[])]$?$+?'
This thingy works if the line begins with a number of word characters (like
a,b,c,�,�,�,� ...) followed by a colon (:) followed by a white space
character, followed by any number of digit characters or comma (,) or dot
(.) followed again by a whitespace which is followed by either ( or [ which
must be followed by a number of word chars or / or - and must be ended by
either ] or ). It will then return the last matching braced term, which is
the number of bytes.
Don't know how you'd integrate that in grpmi.pm, but I bet that there's a
way :] Oh, and if you don't use "use locale", \w would not match "special"
characters like �,�,�,�.
Although WGET="LANGUAGE=C wget" also works (tried it now), I still like my
solution more :]
