Exactly!! lol - much easier to use the Delete key to get rid of those you don't want / need, than to have to find and build the ones you want. Very nice, Ataraxzy!

That's how this started, but I looked at the nearly 100Gb of sound files I'd downloaded and silently cried. Then I went, "Waitaminute... I can automate this."

That's a great idea!

I just hope someone finds this useful.

This idea is definitely useful to me, Ataraxzy. I just have to remember to bookmark this, so I can find it later when we go to do a radio mod... Thank you again!

Here's another oneliner to help you out:

grep -r "mm\.dd\.yyyy" -A 1

Run that in the .../Radio subfolder. It will return all StartDate and StartTime for the particular day you've put in. (Or return nothing if there's nothing scheduled for that day.)

If you want, I've downloaded ~67gb of Radio files from various mod sources. I could upload them somewhere in chunks. All the work is already done, all you'd have to do is download them.

grep -r "\.yyyy" -A 1

Will get you everything that matches that particular year


examples:

 $ grep -r "06\.12\.1941" -A 1
KGMB/Events/events.ini:StartDate=06.12.1941
KGMB/Events/events.ini-StartTime=19.30.00
--
KLVW/1941/Events/events.ini:StartDate=06.12.1941
KLVW/1941/Events/events.ini-StartTime=17.00.00
--
KNX/1941/Events/events.ini:StartDate=06.12.1941
KNX/1941/Events/events.ini-StartTime=15.45.00


$ grep -r "\.1939" -A 1
DHB/Events/events.ini:StartDate=12.09.1939
DHB/Events/events.ini-StartTime=12.00.00
--
DHB/Events/events.ini:StartDate=01.10.1939
DHB/Events/events.ini-StartTime=12.00.00
--
DHB/Events/events.ini:StartDate=01.11.1939
 DHB/Events/events.ini-StartTime=12.00.00
...
 ...

in the oneliner:
-A 1 gets you the "following line"
-B 1 gets you the "preceding line"
-C 1 gets you BOTH.

increase the number to get more than just the next/previous lines.

Thanks for the offer of the broadcasts, but I already have most that I use, but I'm building one that would definitely benefit from your scripts... excellent, and sorting by date is good too! Thank yoiu!

[Ataraxzy]

Kick ass!

Lemme know when it's done, I wanna see it!

And if you have any questions, have an idea for another oneliner, lemme know.

[propbeanie]

Copy that! Will do.
