General :: Bash Scripting - Removing Strings From MP3 Filenames
Oct 5, 2010
I've been surfing and searching the net quit a while now to make my own script, but I haven't been really successful ever since I want to make a script which can remove strings from my mp3 collection (file names).
For example:
Code:
101-bob_sinclar_feat_sean_paul-tik_tok_(radio_edit).mp3 --> bob_sinclar_feat_sean_paul-tik_tok_(radio_edit).mp3
10-Young Jeezy-Lose My Mind (78 Bpm) (Repack).mp3 --> young_jeezy-lose_my_mind.mp3
Now the problem is how can I remove the strings like:
101 & 10 (dynamic)
(%%% Bpm) (dynamic)
(Repack) (static)
what command is to be used to call strings from other files to the script and then comparing strings from two different files in the script to check if strings are matched then return the result to another script.
so here's the problem : is there any way to evaluate the fakeFile's contents (in the fakeScript), so that the term "$(date +%F)" (or any other bash script) in a string , translates to it's corresponding value ? (in this example , we want to have "blah current date" instead of " blah $(bash script) blah " )
I have multiple strings (eg. say two, firstLIST=(0 1 2) and secondLIST=(2 3)) and want to create a single string composed of their unique sorted elements. For the sample strings above, I'd like to build masterLIST=(0 1 2 3).I suppose I could write the elements of firstLIST and secondLIST to files
as this gives me a file populated with the elements I'm after, but I'm not sure how to read the elements back into masterLIST... and it doesn't seem "right" to create files to accomplish this. Is there a way to do this by manipulating the strings ${firstLIST[@]} and ${secondLIST[@]} directly? The closest I've come (not close at all) is
Code:
masterLIST=${firstLIST[@]}" "${secondLIST[@]}
but masterLIST built this way has only one element
I'm trying to write a bash script to find all lines containing two different strings in many files. I don't have access to egrep so I want to use sed for this purpose.
The files will look like this: FileX ------ Info:18 Data:76 Contact:me@home.com Start:1500
I want to generate a new file from these files with only the rows containing Data and Start. Something like this: for y in `ls /file*.db`; do sed '/Data|Start/p' $y > newfile done
I tried to tag late onto a question similar to mine on stackoverflow (Find Non-UTF8 Filenames on Linux File System) to elicit further replies, with no luck so far, so here goes again... I have the same problem as the OP in the link above and convmv is a great tool to fix one's own filesystem. My question is therefore academic, but I find it unsatisfactory (in fact I can't believe) that 'find' is not able to find non standard ascii characters.
Is there anyone out there that would know what combination of options to use to find filenames that contain non standard characters on what seems to be a unicode FS, in my case the characters seem to be 8bits extended ascii rather than unicode, the files come from a Windows machine (iso-8859-1) and I regularly need to fetch them. I'd love to see how find and/or grep can do the same as convmv.
I'm trying to get an output of a file in numeric order. Basically I need the starting number and the ending number in sed this into anther file. The test2.lis file I'm just awk'ing for the first row and if its out of order put it in order so I can grab the first and last numbers. I'm sure I can do this all in an array. The first sed command gets rid of blank lines and outputs it to a file. Then I head and tail for the first and last number then I want to sed those numbers into a file that exsist.
I am working on a simple script that should take two command line arguments, a [number] and a [name]. The first thing the script should do is check to make sure that no more and no less than two command line arguments have been entered when calling the script - an error message should be delivered if the condition is not true.
If two args have been entered, then the message 'processing "scriptname"' should appear, where scriptname is the name of the script being called. The script should then write to the screen "Hi [name]!", and should write this phrase [number] of times. For example, the command $ myscript 2 joe would produce the output: I have read the manual many times looking for examples, and I am very close by virtue of my own efforts. Further, I have searched these forums and others for good examples, which have also gotten me very close. Still my script is not completing the objective, and I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Script:
I want to search and replace strings in a file with strings in other files/i need to do it with big strings(string1 is big) and i want to use a txt file for this.But this code not working :
I need to make a bash scripting, based on a password and a user,that connect to pop3 server and see if it login,if you can,return ok, otherwise return ERR .
Is there any inbuilt functionality in Unix shell script so that i can able to convert lower case string input to an upper case? I dont want to use high level languages like java,python or perl for doing the job.
I do not know how to write either PYTHON or Bash Shell Scripting. I am to learn one for Linux Administration purpose. Which one will you recommend for a Linux Admin/Eng environment?
I've been switched to a new department at work and am totally clueless when it comes to scripting in bash. When I told them I was a fast learner, I didn't think they'd throw me into the deep end of the pool so fast. So to make a long story short. What is a great book to start learning scripting in bash? My supervisor already gave me a simple task to do. Conceptually it sounds quite easy in my head, but actually writing out a script is a bit more daunting and complexed than I first thought.
Now in my bash script, I want to get the output /home/user instead of $HOME once read. So far, I have managed to get the $HOME variable but I can't get it to echo the variable. All I get is the output $HOME.
I'm writing a bash script that executes a few perl scripts. One of the perl scripts that I need to execute requires two arguments with it. The arguments are stored in a txt file, each line contains a hostname and its corresponding IP address separated by a ":" (colon), the txt file looks like this below:
[Code]...
I'm not sure if it's the best way to accomplish this but here it goes. In the bash file, let's call it getHosts.sh, I create an array and assign each line of the file to an element in that array. I then think I need to create a new array where I take the hostname (which is before the ":") separate it from its IP address and place the IP address on a new line just below the hostname (this way I can reference to it like $hostNames[$x] would be the hostname, and $hostNames[$x+1] would be its IP address). So the new array would now look like this below:
I'd like to know some good resources, links, e-books to learn basic Linux system administration scripting. I know how to write very basic BASH shell scripts so I'm still at beginner level. There are so many docs out there that I'd like to narrow down people's opinion's on the best easy to understand resources that are available. Eventually I'd like to learn basic PERL as well.
I have a directory that has a bunch of files and directories under it that I need to correct the filenames of. In fact, I plan on running this as a cronjob to keep checking filenames for certain characters. I want directories and filenames with spaces or pluses (+) to have those certain characters replaced with underscores (_). I know that this will involve sed but I'm not sure what else. A simple shell script would handle it.
i'm trying all the time to use this (find,sed gnu,..etc) scrip to find and remove this string in all files *.php in wwwbackup/ directory. the script work without any error, but doesn't remove any thing!?
find /home/usr/wwwbackups/ -type f -name *.php -print0| xargs -0 sed 's#echo "<iframe src="http://internetcountercheck.com/?click=2255046" width=1 height=1 style="visibility:hidden;position:absolute"></iframe>";##g' -i
I'm not overly great with bash scripting. I do more batch file stuff for Windows than anything else but I'm trying to branch out a bit. (Frankly, I'd love to do this in Ruby but I'm not there yet...) Maybe I'm not using the correct terminology and that's why my searches are coming up useless...
Anyway, I have a script that does some work with HandBrake. Although it deals with HandBrake, I think the issue is not with HandBrake itself. The issue: I had a simpler script which worked fine but it would give me an MP4 with a file name of: Some Movie Name.iso.mp4 and it would still play but I wanted to get rid of the .iso in the file name. I also wanted to drop it into another directory during the encoding. That's why you see a $source & a $destination variable.
...and returning the index of the found element in its array.
I have:
for ((i=0; i < ${#array1[@]}; i++)); do # Read each line of the file test if [[ $(eval "sed -n '$(($i+1))'p test") == *${array2[0]}* ]] stuff
I want to find the index of the found substring in array2 and only if it isn't found, move on to the next element of array2. I don't know the size of array2 so that [0] has just got to go.
but that changes all. how can I change all files but subdirectorys? I was thinking of something likels -l | grep -v ^d but can't get it to work. I'm still learning about variables and how to use them. thanks in advance for your Patients.
Ok, so I find myself ripping audio CDs frequently, which I then lame to mp3's to put on my media player. I usually define the --ta and --tl (artist and album) ID3 tags and batch encode each album, but don't bother with the track tags as I'd have to do each one seperately.
So, I'm working on a script to do all this for me, extracting info from 'pwd' etc. to fill in the blanks for --ta, --tl and --tt (track name). All is working well, except that I can't get sed to pass on the "" character to lame to escape spaces.
Here's what I've got so far: (trouble spot is bolded - no need to pay attention to the rest of it)
Code:
All this does is pass a 'space' on to lame, which it takes as an invalid argument.
