.!. The internets are slow tonight, and I’m tired, so I’ll just leave you with something quick. Tommorrow I’ll pick back up on the podcast script. Let’s look at this short script: #!/bin/bash LIST=”" ls | while read FILE ; do LIST=”${FILE} ${LIST}” done echo $LIST You may be suprised to find that LIST is [...]
I’m working on a script randomly grab mp3s from a playlist and fill a CD with shuffled songs. I’ll be using bash’s built-in random number generator which I believe is available in all versions. Here’s the shuffle function for those interested: # Usage: shuffle <filename> function shuffle () { cat "${@}"|grep -v "^#" | \ [...]

So far so good. The next exercise is to actually make this script useful by fetching the MP3s and arranging them into easy to understand directories. The first order of business is to determine the name for the folder. I chose to use the channel name, and if that fails, the title of this episode. [...]
Last night we looked at parsing urls out of the feeds. Tonight I’m going look at parsing a little more information. Specifically the channel title, item title, item enclosure, and item pubDate.
