The aim of my script:
- look at all the files in a directory ($Home/Music/TEST) and its sub-directories (they are music files)
- find out what music genre each file belongs to
- if the genre is Heavy, then move the file to another directory ($Home/Music/Output)
This is what I have:
#!/bin/bash
cd Music/TEST
for files in *
do
if [ -f "$files" ];then
# use mminfo to get the track info
genre=`mminfo "$files"|grep genre|awk -F: '{print $2}'|sed 's/^ *//g'|sed 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9\ \-\_]//g'`
if [ $genre = Heavy ] ;then
mv "$files" "~/Music/Output/$files"
fi
fi
done
Please tell me how to write the mv command. Everything I have tried has failed. I get errors like this:
mv: cannot move ‘3rd Eye Landslide.mp3’ to ‘/Music/Output/3rd Eye Landslide.mp3’: No such file or directory
Please don't think I wrote that mminfo line - that's just copied from good old Google search. It's way beyond me.
