Shell Script help - MP3 Downloader using Wget
I want to make a script to use wget to find and download mp3s on a website into a directory with a name derived from that URL. So far I have:
#!/bin/sh
echo “MP3 Downloader”
echo -n "Enter full URL address of website or website subdirectory > "
read text
cd ~
mkdir $text
cd $text
wget -r -nc -k -np -U Mozilla/5.0 -A.mp3,oog -e robots=off -w 3 -l 7 --limit-rate=50k --random-wait --restrict-file-names=windows $text
My problem is the middle bit. I want to make a new directory based on the URL and then change to it before Wgetting.
I cannot input a URL (presumably because of the "/"s and I don't know how to resolve that.
Also $text seems to be good for one go only so I can't use it for any more instances.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
