Download negative numbers

[quokwok]

Hi,

I am trying to download URLs containing negative numbers. http://www.example.com/[-27-43].jpg doesn't work. Nor does http://www.example.com/[(-27)-43].jpg

So I need a function. But I can't quite figure out how to name variables and use them inside the function. Basically I want a function which subtracts, say, 50, from the argument. So I ask it to do 0-100 and it returns -50 to +50.

Thanks very much

Just put the "negative" in as a literal character.

So something like...

Code: Select all

http://www.xyz.com/gal-[1-100;3].jpg

Code: Select all

http://www.example.com/-[27-43;1].jpg

Will give you...
