Bash script to download user determined URL

I need to write a bash script that captures user input URL and downloads the URL using wget, saving to user determined folder.

Having trouble with the URL in my if statement

script:

#!/bin/bash

until [[ $REPLY = "exit" ]]

do

read -p "Please type the URL of a file to download or type "exit" to quit: " REPLY

echo

      if [[ $REPLY = "$url" ]]; then

        read -p "Please type your download location: " user_dir

        mkdir -p  $user_dir &&

        wget $url -o $user_dir

        fi

done

echo "Thank you. Goodbye!"

exit 0

Try this

#!/bin/bash

until [[ $url = "exit" ]]

do

  read -p "Please type the URL of a file to download or type exit to quit: " url

  if [[ $url == "https://"* ]] || [[ $url == "http://"* ]]; then

    read -p "Please type your download location: " user_dir

    mkdir -p  $user_dir

    wget $url -P $user_dir

  else
    echo "No valid url"
  fi

done

echo "Thank you. Goodbye!"

Some changes that I made:

  • To save in a dir with wget you must use -P not -o
  • In line [[ $REPLY = "$url" ]]; I assumed that you want to check url schema(I'm not doing a complete schema url validation, but you'll get the idea).
  • Not sure why you use mkdir && so i removed it, as i think is not necessary here, also I removed a echo.
