Hi,
I made a quick shell script that goes through the history file to gather
the sources used by a timeline session. Am I right to assume that the
history file would always have the complete info about a session, and
that I don't need to take the snapshot file into account?
This might NOT be the best shell script written on the planet, but I
would be very grateful if you could give me some feedback.
I still believe that the problem would better be solved in C, but I
don't have the time to look into it right now...
One thing I think might need to be changed is that I use a slash as a
seperator (as it is an illegal character in filenames). Can or could
the source argument become a pathname, instead of a filename?
#!/bin/bash
fatal ()
{
echo Error: "$1"
echo 'Aborting!'
cleanup
exit 1
}
usage ()
{
fatal "Usage: $0 path/to/project"
}
[ $# -eq 1 ] || usage
cd "$PROJECT" || fatal "No such project"
[ -f history ] && [ -f info ] || fatal "Not a Non-DAW project?"
[ -f .lock ] && fatal "Project appears to be in use"
used_sources=""
while read line
do
if grep -q '^\s*Audio_Region .* create.* :source ' <<< "${line}"
then
create=$(sed -n 's/.* :source "\([^"]\+\)".*$/\1/p' <<< "${line}")
used_sources="${used_sources}${create}/"
elif grep -q '^\s*Audio_Region .* destroy.* :source' <<< "${line}"
then
destroy=$(sed -n 's/.* :source "\([^"]\+\)".*$/\1/p' <<< "${line}")
used_sources=$(sed "s/${destroy}\///" <<< "${used_sources}")
fi
done < "history"
echo "${used_sources}" | tr "/" "\n"
exit 0
