"Like our previous script, this script uses wget and sed. This script was also written using "brute force" scripting (that's my term for writing it, directly, as I think it). I'm sure it could be made more comprehensive and technically efficient, but it's such a short script, anyway, that I decided not to kill myself rethinking it (or removing duplicate "sed" statements ;). The output could use some massaging, too, but at least I've got it to the point where it's legible."
