Rename multiple podcast files (cpm
In a directory with several podcast files like this, I am looking to concatenate the feed name and title:

Code:
#
$ cat 1349346290243.meta
#Thu Oct 04 03:25:06 PDT 2012
duration=90201
title=Some Multitasking Is More Taxing
mimetype=audio/mp3
feedName=60 second psych
url=http\://www.pheedo.com/e/fdf1f9845a3c8c5dc08cf5cbf4de0587/sa_p_podcast_120728.mp3
size=0

to create a file named:

Code:
60_second_psych-Some_Multitasking_Is_More_Taxing.meta

Appreciate any help!

I think this will work for you:

Code:
for f in *meta
do
    dname=$(    awk -F = '
                /^title/ { $1 = ""; gsub( " ", "_" ); title = $0; next; }
                /^feedName/ { $1 = ""; gsub( "^ ", "" ); gsub( " ", "_" );  fn = $0; next; }
                END { print fn title } ' $f
    )
    echo mv $f $dname.meta
done

As it is, it will just print the move commands out. If they look acceptable, then remove the 'echo' to actually rename the files. It allows the title and feed name to appear in any order in the meta files.

Code:
for fname in *.meta
do
    declare -a arr=( $(awk -F'='  '/title/ || /feedName/ {printf("'%s' ", $2)} ' | tr -s ' ' '_ '  ) )
    echo  "$fname"  "${arr[1]}-${arr[0]}.meta"
    #  mv "$fname"  "${arr[1]}-${arr[0]}.meta"
done

uncomment the # mv line of code after you run it once: i.e., check the validity of the code

Try that
