hi! i have following print:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tcprobe -i test.avi
[tcprobe] RIFF data, AVI video
[avilib] V: 25.007 fps, codec=DIVX, frames=122565, width=576, height=256
[avilib] A: 44100 Hz, format=0x55, bits=0, channels=2, bitrate=102 kbps,
[avilib] 187626 chunks, 63030979 bytes
[tcprobe] summary for test.avi, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected
import frame size: -g 576x256 [720x576] (*)
frame rate: -f 25.007 [25.000] frc=0 (*)
audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 44100,0,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x55 [0x2000] (*)
bitrate=102 kbps
length: 122565 frames, frame_time=39 msec
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i want to grep only the "122565"

tcprobe -i test.avi | grep length

greps the hole line

Thx for help

You will need to use cut or awk:
tcprobe -i test.avi | grep length | cut -d" " -f2
tcprobe -i test.avi | grep length | awk {'print $2'}

THX for help solved the problem with following script:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tcprobe -i "$*" > movieinfo.tmp

FRAMES=`grep '\[avilib\] V:' movieinfo.tmp | \
perl -e ' $line=<STDIN> ; $line =~ /frames=(\d+)/ ; print $1' `

MIN_TOTAL=`echo "scale=0 ; ($FRAMES / 1440)"| bc -l`

echo $MIN_TOTAL

rm movieinfo.tmp -f
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

script prints movielenght in min

shit script works only with avi files not with mpg
anybody knowing a programm printing movielength of all movies?

Try mplayer.

mplayer? how?
