for loop wget directory creation error
As a Ubuntu beginner. I am trying to download links from multiple text files with wget2 in batch. The -P "$f" creates directory name with .txt suffix. Is it possible to ignore .txt for -P "$f". Any modification suggestions.
for f in *.txt;do wget2 -i "$f" -P "$f";done
I think the most elegant way in bash is to use basename:
$(basename "$filename" "$suffix")
Your script becomes:
for f in *.txt;do wget2 -i "$f" -P "$(basename "$f" .txt)";done
