You want to look at wget resursive download options in particular the -r (recursive) and -l (level).

Typically wget -r -l 1 http://my.site.com/index.html

This creates a directory structure of the site itself. I donot want to create a directory stucture. Basically, just like index.html , i want to have another text file that contains all the URLs present in the site.

Thanks,
M

Oh I see, how about this:
Code:
awk 'BEGIN{ RS="<a *href *= *\""} NR>2 {sub(/".*/,"");print; }' index.html
