Hi!

I am using a command to rename files called “filebot”, this command analyze filename and search in internet the best name for this file, if a best name is found the file is processed and renamed but if not found a coincidence filebot dont rename the file.

I want abort if filebot respond “Processed 0 files”, so i can know if this file could not be processed. A filebot command example:

filebot -rename “movie 43.mkv” --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --lang en --filter “y > 2005” --action test

this command return me these lines in console when press enter:

Rename movies using [TheMovieDB]
Auto-detect movie from context: [/Volumes/Descargas/Movie 43.mkv]
Apply Filter: {y > 2005}
Include [Movie 43 (2013)]
Include [Movie (2007)]
[TEST] Rename [/Volumes/Descargas/Movie 43.mkv] to [Movie 43 (2013).mkv]
Processed 1 files
Done ?(???)?

As we can see “Processed 1 files” all work fine. But how i can “abort” the command if “Processed 0 files”?. I had tested this

filebot -rename “movie 43.mkv” --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --lang en --filter “y > 2005” --action test
if [$? -eq “Processed 1 files”]; then
exit 1
else
exit 0

but no luck

EDIT: With /bin/zsh and

j=$(filebot -rename “movie 43.mkv” --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --lang en --filter “y > 2005” --action test)
if [$j -eq “Processed 0 files”]; then
exit 1
else
exit 0

no luck

Any idea?

Thanks

To compare strings (and variables containing strings) in bash you should use:

if [ "$str" == "Other string" ] then #do something fi
to compare the output of an command you should have something like (NOTE: it’s case sensitive):

o=$(echo 'Hello World!') if [ "$o" = "Hello World!" ] then echo true else echo false fi

The code


o=$( filebot -rename "movie 43.mkv" --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --lang en --filter "y > 2005" --action test )
if [ "$o" = "Processed 1 files" ]
then
echo true
else 
echo false
fi

Allways return me “false”, but command only return:

Rename movies using [TheMovieDB]
Auto-detect movie from context: [/Volumes/Descargas/Movie 43.mkv]
Apply Filter: {y > 2005}
Include [Movie 43 (2013)]
Include [Movie (2007)]
[TEST] Rename [/Volumes/Descargas/Movie 43.mkv] to [Movie 43 (2013).mkv]
Processed 1 files
Done ?(?????)?

Maybe all return is a long string, and i must search for “Processed 1 files” in this string… something like

j=$ (Exist the string "Processed 1 files" in "filebot -rename "movie 43.mkv" --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --lang en --filter "y > 2005" --action test" ??)
if [ "$j" = true ]
then
echo true
else 
echo false
fi



But i dont know how search this partial string "Processed 1 files"

Thanks for your response!

Hello.

Maybe you can resolve this with the expect utilitiy, that is made for “talking” with interactive unix shell utilities. Please see: man expect.
