Hi All,

I have executed the get_Fx.sh script file in (HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64 3519845154) version.


get_Fx.sh Code:

#!/bin/sh
wget http://www.westpac.co.nz/olcontent/olcontent.nsf/fx.xml -O "xml.txt"
awk 'BEGIN{FS="[ <>]"}{if($0 ~ "</rate>") print $6}' xml.txt >> /dev/exchangerates/fromsource/fx.xml

I am getting below error.

get_Fx.sh[2]: wget: not found.
get_Fx.sh[3]: /dev/exchangerates/fromsource/fx.xml: Cannot create the specified file.
{xyz@abc01:/dev/exchangerates/fromsource}

Then you need install wget or curl, google on web to find out the way to install it.
