using 'wget' to output to multiple files

[arunrr]

I have the following 'inputfile'...

http://www.anrww.com/fixtures/schedules?view=all

http://www.anrww.com/events/complete.html

http://www.anrww.com/records/2010/highesttotal.html

when i use wget as below...

wget -i inputfile

I get 3 files:
schedules?view=all, complete.html, highesttotal.html

I can use the -O option to redirect output to a specific file. For example...

wget -i inputfile -O outputfile

With above, all three output files are concatenated into one file, 'outputfile'.

How may i use wget in the above example to redirect output to 3 different output files: output1, output2, output3

I prefer not to use wget 3 times.

Thanks a ton!

A starting point:

wget -i inputfile
awk -F/ '{printf "mv \"%s\" output%d\n",$NF,NR}' inputfile | sh

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for the reply.

I was more looking for a way to do it via the wget command itself. At the present time, i have a similar script to 'mv' the files to its destination path/filename after the completion of the wget.

This can be accomplished with multiple wget commands and the -O flag as below...

wget -O /home/Schedules/input.data

http://www.anrww.com/fixtures/schedules?view=all

I prefer not to do the above. Since i am providing the list of URLs via the inputfile and -i flag, I thought there may be away to direct to different output files for different input URLs all with the wget command.
