Thanks for checking in. It's rewarding to hear that somebody found it useful. If you have any ideas for new walkthroughs, just let me know. I kinda like doing it. No problem, Marc.

I did it originally on Tiger, but it might the last version of Tiger 10.4.11 or something, maybe that makes a difference. I don't know if it's that dollar sign after "nietzsche/" or it likes a hash wildcard like your new version. I'll give it a try, thanks much! Thanks for the explanations and the links.

I’m don’t know how to explain it. Must be some quirk in how they interpret Unix “ish.” One other hackaround is to try another bit of command-line symbolry.

curl -o nietzsche/#1.txt “http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext05/7{zara,ecce,gbrt,gtzn,jnst,msch}10.txt”

That seemed to work fine for me in Leopard.

You don’t actually have to declare “line” or “book.” Since each appears in a magic spot in the “for … in … :” clause, python automagically gets it going. It’s documented further here.

curl “http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext05/7{zara,ecce,gbrt,gtzn,jnst,msch}10.txt” -o nietzsche/$
returned me only one file, called “$”, that seemed to only contained the last text, “msch”. I went ahead and went into the nietzche directory and ran a truncated version, that seemed to work:
$ cd ./nietzsche$ curl -O “http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext05/7{zara,ecce,gbrt,gtzn,jnst,msch}10.txt”
was I bad?
a python basic question:
Do you not have to declare the variable “book”? or variable “line” in that case, like you did with “path”, “freddys_library”, “file”, “hit_count” and “text”
