list file content
I need help. I have this file, it has 2 fields with at least 300 lines:

1 4
2 3
3 6
4 2
.
.
300 5

My output should be for every line in input file the output should be like this, for example line 1:

wget http://somewebsite/page=1&line=1
wget http://somewebsite/page=1&line=2
wget http://somewebsite/page=1&line=3
wget http://somewebsite/page=1&line=4

for line 2
wget http://somewebsite/page=2&line=1
wget http://somewebsite/page=2&line=2
wget http://somewebsite/page=2&line=3

for line 3

wget http://somewebsite/page=3&line=1
wget http://somewebsite/page=3&line=2
wget http://somewebsite/page=3&line=3
wget http://somewebsite/page=3&line=4
wget http://somewebsite/page=3&line=5
wget http://somewebsite/page=3&line=6

and so on.....

That is, the first field will become the "page" value while the second field becomes the total value of "line" for every "page".

Please help. Thank you.
