Limiting walk depth to 0

Post by Thunderstone »




I am issuing this command:

./bin/gw -unique -g -d- -b -R -L -a -D0 -o &listofurls

wanting just to retrieve single pages specified in the file "listofurls".
But gw is still walking links on the retrieved pages to depth of 1. I don't
want any traversal of links - just the specified page. The -D option man
page doesn't say whether 0 is a valid depth, but it is giving me a depth of
1 when I use it, not 0.

What am I doing wrong? I am doing gw -wipe and gw -wipetodo in between
attempts at this, trying to make sure I'm not picking these links up from
previous incarnations. Is there something else I need to wipe out?

Thanks, nice product (if I can just get this one thing solved).

You've got several conflicting options specified. Use just -g or -D0 .
And -unique should only be used once to enable hashing.

/bin/gw -d- -wipe
/bin/gw -d- -unique
/bin/gw -d- -g -R -L -a &listofurls
