Folks, sorry for interrupting this interesting conversation about
youtube downloader. My question is in the same field. At least about
another goooooogle product - search engine. Is there a way to store
google search results in a text file from bash script? I used to write
site parsers to grab contents from some sites using bash utilities
such as wget. Now I want to get to the next level and parse google
output. Using my usual way goooogle returns 'sorry, you're computer
simmingly'.
