bash [2024/10/18 20:22] adambash [Unknown date] (current) – removed - external edit (Unknown date) 127.0.0.1
Line 1: Line 1:
-=== loop over files by type === 
  
-    for i in in *.webm 
-    do 
-        echo $i 
-    done 
- 
-will echo those files. be aware that you're probably going to want to enclose ''$i'' in quotes, e.g.: 
- 
-    for i in *.webm 
-    do 
-        ffmpeg -i "$i" "$i.ogg" 
-    done 
- 
-=== mass rename === 
- 
-there’s a package in apt called ''rename''. (not part of the perl distribution; google lead me to some lying liar on the internet. maybe he was right at one time.) 
- 
-so let's say you found a sick-awesome album. so you've done a nice ''yt-dlp --split-chapters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJIDqYZ7qM0''. now you got all these things that are titled like, ''this soundtrack caused me to ACTUALLY DIE and i am a GHOST now (not clickbait) link to my onlyfans in bio, music for men women children best music great music - 001 photograph [aJIDqYZ7qM0].webm'', and a ''002'', and so on. 
- 
-    ls | rename -d 's/ \[[^]]*\]\././' 
- 
-pipe ''ls'' to ''rename''. -d for "not the directory, only rename the file", and then do a sed-style replacement string.  
- 
-bonus, you can use ''-n'' or ''--nono'' for "no rename" (or as I like to call it, "not really tho") - i.e., don't actually rename, just do a rename. It spits out a preview.  **Be sure to put the -n before the sed pattern.** 
- 
-you can use named capture groups, but you have to do ''\1'', etc. And then the console will bitch at you that you should have done ''$1'', but ''$1'' doesn't work.
