This is off topic I know, but I have a question regarding how to perform a certain task. I have an Archos on which I've installed Rockbox. Now I want to use the freature that allows for speaking file names. I have to create what are called mp3 clips or voice clips which the Rockbox software will read. In any even t here's the question I've got a directory of files, I want to take each name of a file and put it into a separate mp3 file, i.e. song1.mp3 would have a file called song1.talk associated with it. Now I will use the DECtalk software to do this. I will have say speak the file name and then pipe that using a simi colon into sox to make a wav or mp3 file whichever. In any case the problem is I'm not so sure how to feed say each file name. I suspect using a loop statement (if that's the correct term) in a script that would feed the file names from ls into say and on from there. My thought was along these lines and any help appreciated. Not a Bash expert. for I in do ls $i | say input file opton using $i to get the file name, then perform the piping action and get the output desired, and finally loop to the next file. How to do this I am not sure, but I know someone out there may have the answer or has done this. Any rtfming I can do I'm happy to do just let me know where I could get a crash course. I'm going on a trip shortly and wanted to get this done before I head out. tnx Scott
