Re: Wget with Download directory containing spaces

[gerdd]

Seems like none of the fundies have responded yet. I would try two things - one 
is a %20 for the blank, the other is not to have extra spaces inside the quotes 
- the one before Other and the one after Images. Have spaces outside of the 
quotes, though.Good luck,Gerd DiederichsSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

(GMT+02:00) To: address@hidden Subject: Wget with Download directory containing 
spaces Hi, I'm trying to download a bunch of URLs I grouped together in file 
"input.txt". Downloading them to sub-folder "Images" works alright with the 
following command. wget -nv -a log.txt -P .\Images\ -i input.txt The -P switch 
even creates the target directory if it doesn't exist. But when I try to 
download my files to .\Other Images\ I run into trouble. I.e. Wget's -P switch 
now creates (and downloads to) target directory "Other". Obviously, the space 
is the culprit. However, when I next try to work around the issue by 
double-quoting the target directory, which is a normal solution in many command 
line applications w get -nv -a log.txt -P " .\Other Images\ " -i input.txt Wget 
doesn't recognize this target directory and throws a "missing URL" error. 
Apparently, the -P switch can't stand double-quotes... Is there a solution for 
this? Should another character than a double-quote be used to preserve spaces? 
Or is there another workaround for this problem? M.
