Thx for reply,
If any specs about the issue are still ongoing discussion, Id like suggest
to use something like the sed -f or -e switches, to make me able to write
an external text file, handled by wget, with sed-like syntax, so I can
reach my goal with some lines like:
f/JSfunc('\(.*\)'/\1/g
f/AnotherFunc('\(.*\)'/\1/g
where f means follow, and \1 is the link that will be handled (put in d/l
queue, convert to local path, and so on) by wget.
Then I can call wget -<switch to define> file.txt -<other switches> etc. to
get the job accomplished.
Hope the example is clear enough to show this idea.
Thanks again, Andrea
