Consider these wget codes:



wget -P ~/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/branch/papj.sh
wget -P ~/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/branch/nixta.sh


Is there any elegant way to unite different terminals of the same basic URL as above, into one line instead 2 or more?



Pseudocode:



wget -P ~/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/branch/papj.sh||nixta.sh



command-line wget curl download

          As wget accepts several URLs at once this can be done using brace expansion in bash:



          wget -P ~/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/branch/papj.sh,nixta.sh


          (or even



          wget -P ~/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/branch/papj,nixta.sh


          but this only works for well-suited names of course).

          • Thanks, allow me to ask, off label - would you consider this a best practice or something commonly done by professional Bash programmers? (at least, the first option which should be with less confusing).

            @Arcticooling Hmm, good question. For URLs it may not make a lot of sense because it prevents easy copy/paste in case you need to access the same file in the browser, I probably wouldn't use it at least. wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/expansion/brace says "it's used to generate mass-arguments for a command, that follow a specific naming-scheme.", linuxg.net/… has some good examples, I use the cp /path/to/file,.bak thing regularly (but mostly interactively, not in scripts).

          wget -P ~/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/branch/


          I have assigned papj.sh nixta.sh to the variable i



          Used below script to execute as per your requirement



          for i in papj.sh nixta.sh; do awk -v i="$i" 'print $0i' example.txt; done
