curl-users
globbing error
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2001 12:33:02 -0500
Hi,
I am using the command line tool to pull several urls down at one time and
having trouble getting the files saved to correct names. According to the
docs this:
# curl http://images.dealnews.com/arrow_{down,up}.gif --output "#1.gif"
should yield two files named down.gif and up.gif. Instead I get the first
file output to 1.gif and the other output to the screen.
If I supply multiple names:
# curl http://images.dealnews.com/arrow_{down,up}.gif --output
"down.gif" --output "up.gif"
I get the files correctly. However this is a pain.
Is this a known bug? I am using RedHat 7.1 with curl 7.8.1
(i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.8.1 (OpenSSL 0.9.6)
Thanks,
Brian Moon
