I'm need to grab a few hundred songs out of a few thousand to dump to my
wife's IPod. I have a list of the files she selected and I wrote a
little bash script to grab them and sync them to her IPod, but it fails
on spaces in filenames. Probably on things like ' and & and - also.
Any ideas?
#/bin/env bash
FILES="Barry White - Let's Get It On.mp3
Barry White - Shaft Theme.mp3"
for file in $FILES
do
if [ -e $file ]; then
FILE_LIST="$file $FILE_LIST"
else
echo "$file doesn't exist"
fi
done
snip
Thanks,
Jim
Might do the trick:
FILE_LIST="'$file' $FILE_LIST
Could also try \" instead of ' but single quotes deal with strange
characters more tactfully.
