youtube-dl and removing lines after processing?

I have the following command:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

name=$(cat "/home/mydir/URLs.txt")

echo

echo $name

echo

youtube-dl -o /home/mydir/downloads/youtube-dl/'%(title)s'.flv -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 320 -k --embed-subs $name

etc.

I'm looking for a way to remove each line in $name after it is successfully processed. I didn't see something like that as a function of a youtube-dl switch, so I'm wondering how I can do this in bash?

Would it work to follow the youtube-dl command with

Code:

&& $name | sed -e '1d'

But even if this works, it doesn't necessarily verify the file correctly downloaded. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on this.

Thanks!!

you can read the file with the urls into an array, then iterate over that array.

bash arrays are worth the learning curve.
