htm file and uses a quick and dirty method of extracting the URL from that line. The following commands will look for the line containing the download link in the. Also, I am not that familiar with things that aren't batch so I'd prefer it if you explain what the script does. I'd still prefer using batch and curl to keep it consistent and in one file, and because I already have 90% of what I want in batch. I am willing to accept answers that use visual basic (.vbs.), powershell or anything that can be executed from a batch file (which should be nearly everything).

How can I obtain just the url (or the part that changes: 684/741/worldguard-5.7.3.zip) and, hence, get curl to download it?Įdit: I am open to alternatives if there is no easy way of doing it in a batch script and/or using curl. I was thinking of only focusing on lines that had '' (in other words, the line that had the url I wanted), but I have no idea how to do that. Next, I tried saving the output to a text file and deleting all lines except the one I want, however, I don't know how to delete lines that don't contain a specific string. I've tried using FOR /F 'skip=628 tokens=10,11,12,13,14 delims=/ ' %%a in ('curl -L ') DO curl -z foo.zip %%a') but I there appears to be a limit to how many lines I can skip (similar to the token limit of 31) and it would probably have given me all the lines after that as well (not what I want). If I use curl -L end up with this as the output. There is a direct link to the file which is located in the html source code of the page and I can use this link to curl it since this link is not a, I need to find a way to obtain this url from the first link (which is a ). The site has a robots.txt, however, which is what I think is stopping me from just using curl -L -z WorldGuard.zip to get it. I want to use curl to download the latest version of this file.
