The problem is related to my answer here.

I cannot get the following code to work

#!/bin/bash  wget http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=017685108214920485934%3Aizx6pzojwka -O CSE-spanien awk '/^searches [1-9]* sites, including:/ { print $2 }' CSE-spanien

How can you run AWK in a Bash script?

Answer 1

You’re missing -O CSE-spanien at the end of your wget line. As a result, CSE-spanien doesn’t exist – wget is saving it the HTML with the filename cse?cx=017685108214920485934:izx6pzojwka.2.
