Download all xkcd

You can now download all xkcd comics in one go using the following bash script.


#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 1 472`
do
wget http://xkcd.com/$i/
wget `grep http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/ index.html | head -1 | cut -d\" -f2`
mv `grep http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/ index.html | head -1 | cut -d\/ -f5 | cut -d\" -f1` $(echo $(echo $i"_")`grep http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/ index.html | head -1 | cut -d\/ -f5 | cut -d\" -f1`)

rm index.html
done



Made a few modifications to the earlier code so that the comics are named according the sequence that they were put up.

Make the file executable and execute as ::

$sh filename


Happy reading.
