help with wget script.
#!/bin/sh
# 'clear'

for i in $(seq -w 15 37)
do
echo $i
echo The content in Z
Z=`wget --dns-timeout=0.001 http://napdweb${i}.eao.abn-iad.ea.com:8000/webcore/test/test.jsp`
echo $Z
A="Connection timed out."
echo The content in A
echo $A
expr "$A" : '..\(...\)'
echo $A
done




Hi,Please see the above program.

The above program works for me but my problem is that i need to store a value in string once i get the output from "wget".

Moreover i need to find a sub-string for the obstained string.

Thanks in advance.

I couldn't access those servers but assuming you can, here is an example of how to use wget to read text from the web into an environment variable:
Code:
IP="$(wget -o/dev/null -O- http://jackson.io/ip/)"

The switch -o/dev/null throws away all the noisy information about the transfer. You could use -q instead.

The switch -O- (dash capital-O dash) pipes the output to stdout.

The syntax ="$( )" captures it. This is the same as using back-ticks, but I think this syntax is clearer.
