Try enclosing the URL in double quotes e.g wget "http://www.fsi-language-courses.com/Courses/French/Basic (Revised)/Volume 1/FSI - French Basic Course (Revised) - Volume 1 - Unit 01 1.3.mp3" > 2. There are numerous files in the same directory whose difference is > the figure just before .mp3 at the end e.g Unit 01 1.3.mp3, Unit 01 > 1.4.mp3, Unit 01 1.5.mp3, Unit 02 1.1.mp3, Unit 02 1.2.mp3 etc. Any one > with a quick script I could use? If these are the only files in that directory then you could try wget's --recursive option to pull everything in the directory down... _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
