Help with detect with regex and move script
Hi all,
I am needing some help with a script that will search for a video file by known extensions and then do a pattern search (I'm guessing via regex) and then based on a match of one type of another move the file to an assigned directory.
I would like to do this with either a shell script such as bash or python however, I want to keep it as simple and compact as possible.
Examples
I have a folder that I have downloaded video files to, they are generally a mix of mp4, mkv, avi etc. and some will be movie files of various description and other will be tv episode that will either be named like mytvshow sxxexx (as in the sxx would be season number like s01 and the exx would be episode number like e02 for example) with a video file extension.) so the file may look like the following
TV show;
mytvshow s01e02.mp4
My Movie
my movieName.mkv
So the script needs to look at the extension or use another process to determine it is a video file and then based on the naming convension move the respective video file to a defined folder like
mytvfiles moved to /home/tv
mymovefiles moved to /home/movie
Would the scripting gurus out there help me by pointing me in the right direction with some examples of what i may use and suggestions on what may be best to suit this requirement i.e python or bash or something else maybe?
Thank you in advance for any assistance offered.
Cheers,
Darren.

swf::videostream
.::SWF::VideoStream(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation .::SWF::VideoStream(3pm)
NAME
SWF::VideoStream - SWF Video class
SYNOPSIS
use SWF::VideoStream;
$videostream = new SWF::VideoStream("test.flv");
DESCRIPTION
SWF::VideoStream is a helper class useful for playing videos via SWF applications, either via embedded video data, or controlled by
ActionScript.
METHODS
$videostream = new SWF::VideoStream($filename)
Creates a SWF::VideoStream object. If the file can't be opened the constructor will return an empty object. The filename is not limited
to 'flv' extension.
$frames = $videostream->getNumFrames()
This method returns the number of video-frames of an object of SWF::VideoStream, this works only for embedded streams. In case of error
you will get result of -1.
$videostream->setDimension(width, height)
This method sets width and height for streamed videos, this works only on streamed videos (progressive download or rtmp).
$bool = $videostream->hasAudio()
A test whether the embedded FLV stream also has audio data.
$videostream->setFrameMode($mode)
If the mode == SWFVIDEOSTREAM_MODE_AUTO (default) on every SWF movie frame a video frame is added. In SWFVIDEOSTREAM_MODE_MANUAL mode,
the user needs to call the nextFrame() method to change the video's frame. This works only with embedded video streams. Does return
the previous mode or -1 if an invalid mode was passed.
$result = $videostream->nextFrame()
Switch to next video frame. Works only with embedded video streams. Returns -1 if an error happend. Here follows some demo code how to
use SWF::VideoStream objects (without ActionScript):
use SWF qw(:ALL); # to be lazy
$movie = new SWF::Movie();
$movie->setRate( 25 );
# $movie->setRate( 5 ); # e.g. 5 for slow motion
# here movie set background etc. etc.
#
$video=new SWF::VideoStream('MyTestVideo.flv');
die if (-1 == $v->getNumFrames()); # abort if something went wrong
#
$video->setFrameMode(SWF::Constants::SWFVIDEOSTREAM_MODE_MANUAL);
$video->seek(1000, 0); # for example only
$displayitem = $movie->add($video);
#
# 250 for a 10 seconds movie part (at rate of 25 per minute)
for(my $n = 0; $n < 250; ++$n)
{
$video->nextFrame();
$movie->nextFrame();
}
$movie->save("MyTestVideo.swf",9);
# that's all, folks
$result = $videostream->seek($frame, $whence)
This functions allows seeking $frame in video stream, returning the old video frame position. As value of $whence use one of the
following:
0 for seeking from beginning
1 for seeking from current position
2 for seeking from end of file
