I'm trying to write a script to create mp3s from flacs, and so far I've figured out a pretty easy way to do it: flac -d 01\ Kaneda.flac -c | lame -h -b 192 - 01\ Kaneda.mp3 followed by id3cp 01\ Kaneda.flac 01\ Kaneda.mp3 (flacs handle id3 tags very nicely) Of course, I would love to script this. But because all of my flacs contain whitespace (Files are stored $ARTIST/$ALBUM/$TRACKNUM $TRACKNAME thereby giving a guaranteed whitespace between num and name). I've had a problem with scripting and whitespace before, and this is what happens: I try, for example: for i in `ls` do echo $i done and get: jkoenig@note:~/test.lame$ for i in $( ls ); do echo $i; done 01 Kaneda.flac 01 Kaneda.mp3 02 The Battle Against the Clowns.flac ... (for the rest of the tracks in this directory) Anytime I try and use $i, I get only a portion of the filename. Even using -b and --quoting-style=shell-always with ls to print escape characters doesn't do anything. Well, thats my problem. I can't run bash scripts iteratively in directories where the files contain spaces. Any help would be appreciated. -- -johann koenig Now Playing: Social Distortion - Lost Child : Prison Bound Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 67th day of The Aftermath in the YOLD 3169 My public pgp key: http://mental-graffiti.com/pgp/johannkoenig.pgp
