Sorry to bother you but I am going crazy... I am trying to write a =
simple script to traverse directories and create playlist files in those =
directories. I have tried several things but keep getting errors. I am =
obviously having issues with the spaces inside the directory names (see =
below for scripts I have triedand errors I am getting). Any help you =
guys/gals could offer would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! (Oh, please =
reply directly as I am not signed up for the mailing list, probably =
would be a good idea to do that though.)
OK, I have mp3 files n several directories. Here is a sample of =
directories.
/usr/test
/usr/test/W
/usr/test/W/Wall of Voodoo
/usr/test/W/Wall of Voodoo/Dark Continent
/usr/test/W/Wall of Voodoo/WoV Live
/usr/test/W/Weatherman, The
/usr/test/W/Weatherman, The/Global 851
/usr/test/W/When in Rome
/usr/test/W/White Town
/usr/test/W/Wil Smith
What I woudl like to do is have a script search each of the directories =
for mp3 files and dump that output into a .m3u (playlist file) in it. =
for example..
/usr/test/test.m3u
/usr/test/W/W.m3u
/usr/test/W/Wall of Voodoo/Wall of Voodoo.m3u
/usr/test/W/Wall of Voodoo/Dark Continent/Dark Continent.m3u
/usr/test/W/Wall of Voodoo/WoV Live/WoV Live.m3u
/usr/test/W/Weatherman, The/Weatheran, The.m3u
/usr/test/W/Weatherman, The/Global 851/Global 851.m3u
/usr/test/W/When in Rome/When in Rome.m3u
/usr/test/W/White Town/White Town.m3u
/usr/test/W/Wil Smith/Wil Smith.m3u
It is ok for parent directories to include mp3s from subdirectories... =
so Weatherman, The.m3u would also include the mp3s in it's subdirectory.
With help, I have been able to figure out how to get a list of the =
subdirectories, wrap the subdirectories in qoutes but after that is =
where it all falls apart. My script seems to disregard the qoutes I put =
in there and sees the spaces and then fails miserably.
I haven't been able to get specifically named m3u files, but putting a =
songs.m3u file in each directory will work just as good. I have tried 2 =
scripts so far. One that wraps the directory in qoutes=20
"/usr/test/W/Weatherman, The/Global 851/"
and one that builds the directory like Unix does when you tab out the =
directory:
/usr/test/W/Weatherman,\ The/Global\ 851/
SCRIPT 1
#!/bin/sh
#
# Catalog MP3 files on a directory basis
#
MP3_ROOT=3D"/usr/test"
# Find Directories under /usr/test then wrap entire directory in qoutes =
to encompass spaces
for mp3_dir in `find $MP3_ROOT -type d -print | sed -e 's/^/\"/' -e =
's/$/\"/'` ; do
# Find mp3 files in individual directories, clean them up for =
playlist, dump to m3u file in that directory
find $mp3_dir -iname '*.mp3' # | sed -e =
's;/usr/test;http://12.159.64.5;' -e 's/ /%20/g' > $mp3_dir/songs.m3u
done
When I run this script, though, this is what I get.
-snip-
root:/usr/test>./parse
find: ./parse: cannot create "/usr/test"/songs.m3u: directory =
nonexistent
"/usr/test": No such file or directory
find: ./parse: cannot create "/usr/test/W"/songs.m3u: directory =
nonexistent
"/usr/test/W": No such file or directory
find: ./parse: cannot create "/usr/test/W/Wall/songs.m3u: directory =
nonexistent
"/usr/test/W/Wall: No such file or directory
-snip
SCRIPT 2
#!/bin/sh
#
# Catalog MP3 files on a directory basis
#
MP3_ROOT=3D"/usr/test"
for mp3_dir in `find $MP3_ROOT -type d -print | sed -e 's/ /\\ /'` ; do
find $mp3_dir -iname "*.mp3" | sed -e =
's;/usr/test;http://12.159.64.5;' -e 's/ /%20/g' > $mp3_dir/songs.m3u
done
And when I run this script -snip-
find: ./parse: cannot create /usr/test/W/Wall/songs.m3u: directory =
nonexistent
/usr/test/W/Wall: No such file or directory
find: ./parse: cannot create of/songs.m3u: directory nonexistent
of: No such file or directory
find: ./parse: cannot create Voodoo/songs.m3u: directory nonexistent
Voodoo: No such file or directory
-snip-
