I am trying to download a few hundred URL’s and specify the output name for each, the only difference is an ID in the URL, such as ..something/1/something..
, ..something/3/something..
, ..something/4/something..
etc.
I can use -o filename.zip
but it will overwrite for each of the range of files, I am currently using:
curl -o file.zip http://example.com/something/[1-500]/something/example/foo/bar/comma/zip
How can I output as this:?
file1.zip, file3.zip, file4.zip, ..etc

A simple loop in your shell would do the trick e.g.:
#!/bin/bash for i in `seq 1 500`; do curl -o file$i.zip http://example.com/something/$i/something/example/foo/bar/comma/zip done
