newbie doubts

[Nandita Shenvi]

Hallo All,

I am new in wget and i have some doubts.

I have written a perl script as follows:

$all_links[3]=~s/http:\/\///;
 print $all_links[3];

system (wget, --output-document=wgetcheck,   $all_links[3]  );

I have not copied the whole script but just the last few lines.The variable
$all_links[3] has an URL:
http://bolinux39.europe.nokia.com/database2/MIDI100/GS001/01FINALC.MID.
the link follows a file, which I require.
I remove the http:// before calling the wget, but i still get an error 
message:

--13:56:24--  
http://%20bolinux39.europe.nokia.com/database2/MIDI100/GS001/01FINALC.MID%0A
  = `wgetcheck'
Resolving %20bolinux39.europe.nokia.com... failed: Host not found.
It seems like wget is adding%20 and %0A at the beginning and at the end of 
the URL.
I do not why, i would appreciate when somebody knows the the cause of this 
problem could write to me .I would be gratefull.


thanks
nandita

$all_links[3] needs to be cleaned up. It contains as trailing \n and there
is a space between http://; and bolinux39 that should not be there.

The \n is easily addressed by: chomp @all_links;

You should look at your script to determine how the space got there. You can
get rid of all spaces by: $all_links[3] =~ s/ //g;
but that may not be what you want. You're better off figuring out how the
unwanted space got there in the first place and making sure it doesn't.
