How do you get the source of the webpage from the terminal?
On my website, I have a text file with data in it (this site is hosted by GoDaddy so I can't access the file locally). This file is updated via PHP. From Unix / Linux / Mac bash, I would like to get the contents of a text file so that I can use it in scripts. Any help would be appreciated :)

curl
already installed on your Mac, so you don't need to install it. You will also find curl
it installed for almost any Linux distribution. This is probably your safest bet.
cd /Users/me/Desktop
curl www.google.com >> google.txt
wget
can be easily installed on your Mac using Homebrew . It will probably be installed on most Linux distributions already.
cd /Users/me/Desktop
wget www.google.com
