[leglug-users] Some help... with bash scripting

[Chady Kassouf]

You may want to change some parts... like the first check should check $3
and not $1
and you may replace the while and incrementor with a for loop.
and you have three variables for the same thing (dir)

something like this (untested)

#!/bin/bash
# npd.sh v0.2

# newspaper downloader
if [ -z "$3" ]; then
     echo 'Insert date DD MM YY ex: 31 12 99'
     exit
fi
    Dir="$3-$2-$1";
    mkdir "$Dir";
    pushd "$Dir";

    for A in `seq 1 1 25`; do
            wget "http://www.almustaqbal.com/Issues/AsISPDF/$Dir/page$A.pdf
<http://www.almustaqbal.com/Issues/AsISPDF/$D/page$A.pdf>";
    done

    popd

    mv "$Dir" d:/news/;
