Hello Raokl,

Sorry my bad it should be as follows.

Code:
echo $a| awk 'gsub(/\*/,X) gsub(/\?/,X) 1'
 
cho "test1.props,test2.props,*,test3.props,?,test4,props" | awk 'gsub(/\*/,X) gsub(/\?/,Y) 1'

Thanks,
R. Singh

NAME
riocp - program to transfer files to and from the Rio Karma SYNOPSIS
riocp [options] files_to_upload... DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the riocp command. riocp is a program that searches for and lists files on the Rio Karma. It also allows the user to transfer files to and from the device. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. -a {path|hostname|IP-ADDR} Set access location of Rio Karma. Can be either a hostname or IP address for network access; or a path in the filesystem where the Rio Karma is mounted for USB access. -b Get database by scanning *1 files, instead of smalldb. -c charset Set codeset to use when communicating with the Rio Karma. -D dummyName Use dummyName for missing or empty props. Default if not set is '-UnKnown-'. -d Download the files searched for with "-s". -e set1 set2 set3 Edit the download pathname using set1 and set2 as in unix tr. If set3 is empty (""): just translate as in tr; otherwise, further delete all chars given in set3. -F Use filenames in ~/.openrio/.../__libkarma_fdb__.gz for download. -f Force the files to be written even if they are dupes. -H Download files listed in ~/.openrio/.../__libkarma_fdb__.gz that match the current hostname. -h Show summary of options. -l props Like -u for type='playlist'. The default is to use whatever is set for -u. -p passWord Password for accessing the Rio Karma via the network. -q Squeeze repeated chars (given in "set2" of -e), after the optional delete. -R Same as -r, but do not ask for confirmation. -r Remove these files (after the optional download). -s searchString Search karma DB according to searchString. searchString syntax: property=searchStr[{,|+}...], where: - searchStr is a substring of the property value (see ~/.openrio/*/fileinfo for possible property names) - ',' and '+' mean AND and OR, respectively - each AND/OR operator is applied to the previous search results -U fdb.gz Upload files listed in the given fdb.gz file. -u props Use properties to build download path for type=tune. "props" are formating strings (as in "printf"), where: %a = Artist %c = Codec %f = fid %g = Genre %n = Track Number %s = Source %T = Type %t = Title The default is "%f.%c". -w Don't rewrite the smalldb database file. -x props Like -u for type='taxi'. The default is to use whatever is set for -u. SEE ALSO
