wget download articles linked to from a page

Hello everybody!

I want to download all the articles this page

https://shepherdexpress.com/lifestyle/out-of-my-mind

has links to.

I use an alias

type get
get is aliased to `wget -mkEpnp'

but it doesn't work. There is only one downloaded page which is '.rss'

ls ~/shepherdexpress.com/lifestyle/out-of-my-mind/
index.rss

This '.rss' page contains links to the articles

perl -ne 'print if /link/..!/\\\s*$/' index.rss

but for some reason 'wget' doesn't download them.

I also tried 'r' and 'l1' and 'l2' options but it made no difference.

get -l 1 -r --convert-links

Any suggestions how to download those articles are appreciated?
Thank you!

Re: wget download articles linked to from a page

Maybe use sed to remove the <link> </link>, then put the list into a 'for in' loop(?)

Re: wget download articles linked to from a page

Hi, I used to download electronics pages with httrack, a webpage/site downloader. The package is in the devuan repos for Daedalus.

With the page on your computer you may move the docs you want and then clean up the left-overs to the rubbish bin.

I hope this helps you.

kind of a workaround... put the links in a file and then

wget -i file

thank you!
