Question

I want to use wget to automatically open a URL and save that in csv format. Here is the problem:

1- I want to run this command ./mydownload 2011 8 29

2- wget should open the URL http://d1.website.com/2011/8/29/MonthlyReport.html?format=1

3- Then save that file to 2011_8_29.csv

How can I do that with a bash script? also it there are simpler solutions please state them.

Answer 1

#/bin/bash

wget --output-document=$1_$2_$3.csv http://d1.website.com/$1/$2/$3/MonthlyReport.html?format=1

Edit
Try something like

wget -qO- http://d1.website.com/$1/$2/$3/MonthlyReport.html?format=1 \
    | sed 's+<br />++g' > $1_$2_$3.csv
