Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Using grep to extract line number Post 66994 by mskarica on Saturday 19th of March 2005 09:54:43 PM

I tried all 3, and all 3 worked perfectly. The last 2 options are a whole lot easier for me to understand, even though I did read up on regular expressions, and was able to follow some of the first option.

Thanks for your help Smilie

Perform a regular expression search on the tags of specified media files. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. All regular expressions are Perl Compatible Regular expressions supported by the PCRE libraries. Note that all matches are ANDed, meaning that for a successful match, matches against all tags must occur. Support exists for MP3 files, and, if compiled in, for Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files as well. -t, --title=REGEXP Match the title tag against REGEXP -a, --artist=REGEXP Match the artist tag against REGEXP -l, --album=REGEXP Match the album, tag against REGEXP -y, --year=REGEXP Match the year tag against REGEXP -g, --genre=REGEXP Match the genre tag against REGEXP -c, --comment=REGEXP Match the comment tag against REGEXP --track=REGEXP Match the track tag against REGEXP -c, --composer=REGEXP Match the composer tag against REGEXP -o, --orig-artist=REGEXP Match the original artist tag against REGEXP -c, --copyright=REGEXP Match the copyright tag against REGEXP -u, --url=REGEXP Match the URL tag against REGEXP -e, --encoded-by=REGEXP Match the encoded-by tag against REGEXP --any-tag=REGEXP Match the encoded-by tag against REGEXP. Using this option makes every one of the above options to be ignored --display-title display title tag of matching files --display-artist display artist tag of matching files --display-album display album tag of matching files --display-year display year tag of matching files --display-genre display genre tag of matching files --display-comment display comment tag of matching files --display-track display track tag of matching files --display-composer display composer tag of matching files --display-orig-artist display orig-artist tag of matching files --display-copyright display copyright tag of matching files --display-url display url tag of matching files --display-encoded-by display encoded-by tag of matching files -0, --print0, Use null character as delimiter.
