small script help, action each file in a folder
So, I was doing this:
ffmpeg -i /media/johann/5461-000B/DCIM/100MEDIA/IMAG0079.AVI -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:20 ~/Public/240321/240321_0079.avi ; rm /media/johann/5461-000B/DCIM/100MEDIA/IMAG0079.AVI
one at a time changing the IMAG0079 to IMAG0080 etc every time. I am sure there must be a way to perform two actions (ffmpg) and (rm) on each file in a folder. Can anyone help (For next time)
Thanks!
What about something like this:
Awesome! Thanks, I knew there had to be a way!
edit: This also works:
for i in *.avi; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:10 ~/Public/test/${i%.*}.avi ; done
But yours is much nicer.
Try this:
To do some substitution operation om the filename you can use Bash Parameter Expansion.
Use another folder instead of name
The input filename changes each time.

Almost, here is the one that worked:
for i in *.avi; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:10 ~/Public/test/${i%.*}.avi ; done
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
