Shell Programming and Scripting

A buddy of mine was telling me last night that you can write a bash script that will download an entire site in gedit?? Is this true??? I think I am going to fall in love with bash Any good tutorials??

Try to read about wget...

my god where has this been all my life...

I think I shall do some damage, lol.


EDIT:
so basically the many times ive spent downloading things one by one from sites I could have done this in 5 mins and been done?? I would assume I can download certain elements of a full site then.

I'm not sure what you mean.

well an example. I like going to font sites and downloading useful fonts but if I learn how to write a wget I could download everything from a site and use my font manager on my rip station to use the fonts. So i could then change an hour downloading fonts to use I can use wget and download a whole site's fonts in a couple of seconds..

What I sometimes do is extract all links from a page by
1) wget -k a particular page
2) egrep -o "http://[^"']+" resulting-filename.html | grep "stuff-I-want" > newlist
3) wget -I newlist

It won't work for annoying javascript or form-based downloads.

I don't think what you are trying to achieve is that much easy to do with wget.

You should take look at the Site structure. How the site is designed. Normally all the download items, files are saved in different location and site is just using the link to show them and can be downloaded as per user's request from particular form.(I am talking about java get methods).
And site is normally hosted on different server.
So what you are trying to achieve is I think not possible.
You can't download all the font's like this. If you know the link of of all the files then it can be done using wget ..
