I need to download this page multiple times, it returns a different result each time it is accessed:
i="0"
while [ $i -lt 10 ]; do
curl -O http://httpbin.org/bytes/128
i=$[$i+1]
done
But every time the curl command is executed, the previous file is overwritten, since the name is the same.
How do I not overwrite? Names could be sequential ex. "128 (1)", "128 (2)", ..., "128 (n)".
Use the -o (the lowercase) option to specify where to write the response and use your counter as the filename:
i=0;
while [ $i -lt 10 ]; do
curl http://httpbin.org/bytes/128 -o 128_$i
i=$[$i+1]
done
Or more clearly using for :
for i in {1..10}; do
curl http://httpbin.org/bytes/128 -o 128_$i
done
Or rather by using seq :
seq -f 'curl http://httpbin.org/bytes/128 -o 128_%g' 9 | bash
Good night, well curl can be used with -o to set a file for output, as explained in the international stack overflow: link
curl -K myconfig.txt -o output.txt
Writes the first output received in the file you specify.
curl -K myconfig.txt> > output.txt
Appends all output you receive to the specified file.
So you can use the declared variable to name the files.
