Thanks for the suggestion gogoud. The only concern I have with this is the creation of a separate file for each url. Ideally I need a single output file as I will be performing further global cleaning of the resulting data and having it in separate files may get messy. I suppose with your suggestion I could then introduce a command to join the data from the separate outputs in a single file, but I will wait and see if anyone provides a simpler solution before I accept this answer. Thanks again.

I added a short script which outputs a single stream of data and avoids any leftover files
