Hey RudiC!

It's been a while I know, but as I said I was busy learning bash SmilieSmilie

Not saying I got it all, I still got a long way to go...
I just wanted to post here what I've been able to do all on my own until now.
It will definitely seem barbaric to you Smilie and less elegant that what you did earlier with the awk command but as I'm not sure how to control it, I'm taking another road Smilie:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

#setting variable for the link construction. This will be the part that comes after the www.dotmed.com"$link" for the second curl
set link

#Setting the index for the while loop. The limit U (constant in the while loop)  will define the amount of equipment to "crawl"
i=1

#Setting the offset variable that helps passing from one href to the next. This variable is used in the first curl link
offset=0

#Starting the loop for the crawl
while [ $i -lt 5 ]
do

#Getting the listing and assigning each listing to the variable "link"
        link=$(curl "https://www.dotmed.com/equipment/2/5/2693/all/offset/$offset/all?key=&limit=1&price_sort=descending&cond=all&continent_filter=0&zip=&distance=5&att_1=0&att_row_num=1&additionalkeywords=&country=ES" | egrep "href.*view more" | sed -n 's/.*href="\([^"]*\).*/\1/p')

#Getting information from each listing
        curl "https://www.dotmed.com$link" | fgrep -e "id=\"price"

#Reseting for next iteration
        unset link      
        (( i++ ))
        (( offset++ ))
done

The great thing is that I can run it on any Linux machine plus I'm getting into each listing with this script to get info from there...
Now I've got to learn more about sed and grep to extract the information I need automatically and I'll be done SmilieSmilie.
Easy right? hopefully I will be able to do it soon.

If you have any comment on the script please be my guest! still trying to learn! SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

All the best!

NAME
curl-config - Get information about a libcurl installation SYNOPSIS
curl-config [options] DESCRIPTION
curl-config displays information about the curl and libcurl installation. OPTIONS
--ca Displays the built-in path to the CA cert bundle this libcurl uses. --cc Displays the compiler used to build libcurl. --cflags Set of compiler options (CFLAGS) to use when compiling files that use libcurl. Currently that is only the include path to the curl include files. --checkfor [version] Specify the oldest possible libcurl version string you want, and this script will return 0 if the current installation is new enough or it returns 1 and outputs a text saying that the current version is not new enough. (Added in 7.15.4) --configure Displays the arguments given to configure when building curl. --feature Lists what particular main features the installed libcurl was built with. At the time of writing, this list may include SSL, KRB4 or IPv6. Do not assume any particular order. The keywords will be separated by newlines. There may be none, one, or several keywords in the list. --help Displays the available options. --libs Shows the complete set of libs and other linker options you will need in order to link your application with libcurl. --prefix This is the prefix used when libcurl was installed. Libcurl is then installed in $prefix/lib and its header files are installed in $prefix/include and so on. The prefix is set with "configure --prefix". --protocols Lists what particular protocols the installed libcurl was built to support. At the time of writing, this list may include HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, FILE, TELNET, LDAP, DICT. Do not assume any particular order. The protocols will be listed using uppercase and are separated by newlines. There may be none, one, or several protocols in the list. (Added in 7.13.0) --static-libs Shows the complete set of libs and other linker options you will need in order to link your application with libcurl statically. (Added in 7.17.1) --version Outputs version information about the installed libcurl. --vernum Outputs version information about the installed libcurl, in numerical mode. This outputs the version number, in hexadecimal, with 8 bits for each part; major, minor, patch. So that libcurl 7.7.4 would appear as 070704 and libcurl 12.13.14 would appear as 0c0d0e... Note that the initial zero might be omitted. (This option was broken in the 7.15.0 release.) EXAMPLES
What linker options do I need when I link with libcurl? $ curl-config --libs What compiler options do I need when I compile using libcurl functions? $ curl-config --cflags How do I know if libcurl was built with SSL support? $ curl-config --feature | grep SSL What's the installed libcurl version? $ curl-config --version How do I build a single file with a one-line command? $ `curl-config --cc --cflags` -o example example.c `curl-config --libs` SEE ALSO
