The problem is above is a combination of two things -- it's grabbing the first line from the HTML file that contains "jpg", but the sed code doesn't account for the chance that the label text could be on the same line. If you replace the sed command with: sed -e 's/.*="//' -e 's/">.*//' -e 's/^/http:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\//' That will work in both cases. The first bit (the first value for the "-e" parameter) s/.*="// gets rid of everything on the line up to and including the first occurance of the characters =" (in the href or SRC attribute, depending on whether the <IMG> or the <a> tag comes first). The second bit s/">.*// gets rid of everything after the first occurance of "> in the remaining bit of the string. The last bit adds the http://.../ stuff to the beginning of the URL. Brendan

Right.

It may be worth noting that [some of] the images are copyright, so displaying them on your monitor other than in a browser as designed and implicitly permitted is probably not a good plan.

Granted, NASA may display works by a private individual capable of copyright, as for the government images themselves -- they are public domain. Even in the case of display of a private image under license, it would be a difficult hurdle for an holder to prove unlawful copying of an image displayed on Carlos's living room wall -- after having provide valid ownership of the copyright. See e.g., Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Tel. Serv. Co. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/499/340/ All would depend on the license between the holder and government -- if one sufficiently detailed exists.... but possible... Probably have better odds winning a lottery though. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
