GeneratingStatsOfPopularWindowsSoftware

I made a little script that will fetch information from the Download.com site. It will generate two separate files, one with a list of the names of the programs and another one with the number of downloads each program has had. The files are sorted in the same order.

TEMPFILE="tmp.file"
RESULTNAMES="names.txt"
RESULTDLCOUNT="downloads.txt"

COUNTERSTART=1
COUNTEREND=10

CLEARRESULTS="1"

if [ "$CLEARRESULTS" = "1" ] ; then
        echo Removing old results
        rm --force $RESULTNAMES
        rm --force $RESULTDLCOUNT
fi

for (( COUNTER = $COUNTERSTART ; COUNTER <= $COUNTEREND ; COUNTER++ )) ; do
        echo "Fetching page" $COUNTER "of" $COUNTEREND
        wget -O $TEMPFILE $URL_PREFIX$COUNTER$URL_SUFFIX

        grep -E "tag\=lst\-4\-"'[0-9]+'\"\>\<b $TEMPFILE | cut -d '>' -f 3|cut -d '<' -f 1 >> $RESULTNAMES
        grep -E '^[0-9]' $TEMPFILE >> $RESULTDLCOUNT
done

Here I have combined the two files in to one:
