Curl

is it possible to get curl to read urls from a file like wget? i had a look through the man page but didnt see anything obvious?

if its not a option, how can i use a shell script to pull lines out of a text file?
something along the lines of

Code:

while [ line_number_counter -le number_of_lines_in_document]
do

curl -O line number <line_number_counter> from document
line_number_counter = `expr line_number + 1`

done

 

What exactly do you want this to do?

 

grab multiple sets of sequentially numbered files, for example

Code:

Curl -O http://www.site.com/part[1-5].zip

but only in want to load "http://www.site.com/part[1-5].zip" from line X of a plain text file (with one address per line).
