You sholdn't need to use bash directly - simply use the 'shell' feature
on each file.
Of course, you could do just the same by putting all the commands into a
file, and then running it from bash if that was preferable :-)
Here's a fragment of a script I use to convert jpeg files (for different
sizes, etc.)
This assumes that it starts in a folder full of files, and creates a
subfolder of resized files.
(And it deals with strangely named files that caused problems for
"shell" by
renaming the file
using convert (part of ImageMagick)
renaming the files back again.
I should probably have figured out all the naming / escaping needed -
but I was in a hurry :-)
create folder "width400"
repeat for each line L in tFiles
put "Converting" && L & "<br>" & CR after tOutput
-- deal with difficult file names
put L into K
-- e.g. replace "&" with "XXX" in K
rename file L to K
if not file_exists("width400", L) then
put "convert " & K & " -resize 400x400\> " & "width400/" & K
into tCmd
put shell(tCmd)
put "do " && tCmd && the result & "<br>" & CR after tOutput
set the defaultfolder to "width400"
rename file K to L
set the defaultfolder to ".."
end if
rename file K to L
end repeat

Hi,
Have 1,500 files of our TV program buried in an awkward file tree. I
want to use LC to pick out all the video files, getting a list of
files with their full paths. That part I can do. Now I want to feed
that list of files to ffmjpeg (open source video compression program)
to convert to a different format.
Assuming I'll have to use a bash script or something? This will be a
first for me.
Any chance listers have used LC and ffmjpeg together, and can throw me
some pointers on how to do this?
TIA
