\nIt’s a sinlge line command and you get your stock’s current price. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

curl --silent -X Get \"http:\/\/www.google.com\/finance?q=NSE:TCS\" > \/tmp\/ChangeIsInevitable && cat \/tmp\/ChangeIsInevitable | grep -m1 -E 'span id=\"ref_' | awk -F \">\" '{print $2}' | awk -F \"<\" '{print $1}'<\/code><\/p>\n

This work for other Stock Exchanges like NYSE as well:<\/p>\n

curl --silent -X Get \"http:\/\/www.google.com\/finance?q=nyse:goog\" > \/tmp\/bgz && cat \/tmp\/bgz | grep -m1 -E 'span id=\"ref_' | awk -F \">\" '{print $2}' | awk -F \"<\" '{print $1}' && date
