I'm using wget, a perl script and a shell script to download files
from serveral directories on a web server.
The URLs I'm passing to wget are of the form:
http://www.foo.br/001/ - http://www.foo.br/050/
My perl script loops through the numbers 1-50, inserting each
iteration in a string representing the URL. I call it from my shell
script and redirect output to a text file. I then call wget from the
same shell script passing the name of this text file to wget's
--input-file option.
I want to do this all in Perl and avoid messing around with shell
scripts or batch files.
Also, is there a simple way of constructing the numbers 001-050 for my
URL strings?
$ perl -e 'system sprintf("wget http://www.for.br/%03d/";, $_) for
(1..50);'
