Utnubu, you need to read up on shell scripting. All of your questions so far have been really simple questions that you could find the answer to with Google much faster than you could from a forum

It's better to have a go yourself first and ask when you run into problems you cannot solve

[Utnubu]

i am trying it. i didnt ask directly to forum. i've been researching.
if i know how to pass arguments to command line, i will do it.

thanks

i think its not like this, can you have a look?

first parameter web site
second one is type
third one is directory

#!/bin/bash
wget *-r *-l1 *-accept='$2' *-P ~/'$3' '$1'

[Kieren]

Yes, $1 would be the first argument, $2 the second and so on

I'm not sure why you have and * in there though. Try:

#!/bin/bash
wget -r -l1 -accept='$2' -P ~/'$3' '$1'
