Can someone please make me a script I can easliy run on a linux OS (or even windows it doesn't matter).. Im not a programmer but I can run a shell script on unix or a batch file in windows 
 
I have a list of URL's in a text file - 
 
example 
<a href="http://www.website.com/images/50/705077001430.gif" rel="ugc">http://www.website.com/images/50/705077001430.gif</a> 
<a href="http://www.website.com/images/5000/705077001431.gif" rel="ugc">http://www.website.com/images/5000/705077001431.gif</a> 
 
The list is rather large (450 urls/images) and downloading by hand would take awhile 
 
Can someone throw together a script that will read the list of URL's and download each image and place them all in the same folder. 
 
example of the resulting output 
images/50/705077001430.gif 
images/5000/705077001431.gif 
 
I'd need to keep the folder structer and image name the same as named in the URL - BUT IF this complicates the script to much I really only have to have the image name remain the same, I can place them in folders after they are downloaded. 
 
Many thanks

script to download images via URL list

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
