Andrew,
I basically found what to do on your site and copied it:
#!/bin/bash
#set -x
echo "My BBC WGET Script 27/02/2004 V1.00"
BASE_URL='http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings'
DAYS=-1,1,1
FORMAT=XMLTV
FILE=BZIP2
CHANNELS=bbc1,bbc2,bbc3,bbc4
APPL="For Linux VDR from Germany (brian_dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx)"
LOC=bleb-xmltv.bz2
#echo $BASE_URL
#echo $DAYS
#echo $FORMAT
#echo $FILE
#echo $CHANNELS
TVDATA="$BASE_URL?days=$DAYS&format=$FORMAT&file=$FILE&channels=$CHANNELS"
WGETCMD="wget -U'$APPL' -O'$LOC' '$TVDATA'"
echo ""
echo ""
echo $WGETCMD
$WGETCMD
exit
Cheers Brian

The "days=3D-1,1,1" stuff (in various places) should read
"days=-1,1,1". Not sure where those extra "3D" characters came from.
It's an encoding of =, "=3D" - equivalent to "%2D" in a URL, for
example. Dunno why your original post needed encoding, but something
thought it did.
Anyway, you wrote:
as I am new to this, maybe someone can help even thought it is slightly
off-topic:
That's not a problem.
My BBC WGET Script 27/02/2004 V1.00
wget -U'For Linux VDR from Germany (brian_dorling@xxxxxxxxxxx)'
-O'bleb-xmltv.bz2'
'http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings?days=-1,1,1&format=XMLTV&file=BZIP2&channels=3Dbbc1,bbc2,bbc3,bbc4'

Has anyone any ideas what is wrong? Obviously its staring to parse
the -U
parameters as a URL, but why?
Sounds like the quotes are being lost. What platform/language is the
script written in? Can you paste it into a list posting/put it online
somewhere?
Cheers,
Andrew
