Loop over a range of numbers to download with wget

Question

How can I write a bash script that is going to do the following:

URL = "example.com/imageID="
while (1..100)
   wget URL + $i #it will wget example.com/imageID=1, then 2, then 3, etc
done

So I have a number of loops to perform, a URL which is ended with a number from the loop. I need to wget all of these.

Answer 1

if you are using Bash 4.0, you can do this:

wget example.com/imageId={1..100}.jpg

Answer 2

It's fairly easy, even for someone with not much programming experience. When in doubt always read the Bash manual:

for i in {1..100}
do
    wget "example.com/imageID=$i"
done

Answer 3

In case variable is not at end of URL and variable is between underscores:
example.com/imageID_1_2018.gif
example.com/imageID_2_2018.gif
example.com/imageID_3_2018.gif
.
.
.
example.com/imageID_100_2018.gif

wget example.com/imageID_{1..100}_2018.gif
equivalently:
for ((i=1;i<=100;i++)); do wget example.com/imageID_${i}_2018.gif; done
