# GLOBBING
|
|
You can specify multiple URLs or parts of URLs by writing lists within braces
|
|
or ranges within brackets. We call this "globbing".
|
|
|
|
Provide a list with three different names like this:
|
|
|
|
"http://site.{one,two,three}.com"
|
|
|
|
Do sequences of alphanumeric series by using [] as in:
|
|
|
|
"ftp://ftp.example.com/file[1-100].txt"
|
|
|
|
With leading zeroes:
|
|
|
|
"ftp://ftp.example.com/file[001-100].txt"
|
|
|
|
With letters through the alphabet:
|
|
|
|
"ftp://ftp.example.com/file[a-z].txt"
|
|
|
|
Nested sequences are not supported, but you can use several ones next to each
|
|
other:
|
|
|
|
"http://example.com/archive[1996-1999]/vol[1-4]/part{a,b,c}.html"
|
|
|
|
You can specify a step counter for the ranges to get every Nth number or
|
|
letter:
|
|
|
|
"http://example.com/file[1-100:10].txt"
|
|
|
|
"http://example.com/file[a-z:2].txt"
|
|
|
|
When using [] or {} sequences when invoked from a command line prompt, you
|
|
probably have to put the full URL within double quotes to avoid the shell from
|
|
interfering with it. This also goes for other characters treated special, like
|
|
for example '&', '?' and '*'.
|
|
|
|
Switch off globbing with --globoff.
