-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I recently attempted to create a script that would cat a list of mp3 files to mpg123, and then subsequently re-name the output files substituting in $i. For example, file1.wav. The script I had went something like: #!/bin/bash for textfile in `cat $1`; do for i in do i+=1 #increment i by 1 for later substitution done mpg123 -@ $textfile -w file$i.wav done I then found that mpg123, upon being run with the script, said "./d: no such file or directory." Is there even a way to substitute $i in the middle of a filename to reflect the value of i? I know how to do this in other languages, however Bash doesn't seem to provide a method of doing this. Btw I thought of writing the script in either C or Perl, however I thought that the simplicity of the task I was trying to accomplish didn't really justify the overhead. Anyone have any ideas on possibly modifying this script so that it would actually work? Thanks! - -- Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with your Microsoft product. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFApvW1Nohoaf1zXJMRAuytAJ9eGcKkqPxTQ+ve+b8avTnT48QmKgCfbzza 2Su5fdDqTfrCVS/GHbFO/+s= =opSS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
