Q: wget command to download a file and save as a different filename

noobcoderI am downloading a file using the wget command. But when it downloads to my local machine, I want it to be saved as a different filename. For example: I am downloading a file from www.examplesite.com/textfile.txt I want to use wget to save the file textfile.txt on my local directory as newfile....

Giorgio VitanzaI have been studying PHP for few days, but so far I doesn't seem to be useful in a matter of style of the webpage,am I right? And database.. Is it useful for something else except for sites you need to register to?

No, answers.
 
high quality questions is part of the mix...
 
Sorry, my first answer on SO was a detailed answer explaining a typo in an SQL query. The question was terrible, and was closeworthy (I was well aware), but I thought I could resurrect it with an awesome answer.
And I did.
That's pretty much why I stopped contributing anonymously via edits and made an account.
The question's been deleted since.
 
3:27 PM
well, my first itteraction with SO was exactly the opposite
 
My first five questions were all attempts to provide great answers to questions that were mediocre where OP shows an honest effort to help.
It stopped there because I found [regex], and shortly, [minecraft].
And my hope dropped to rock bottom, but that's another story for another day.
