Hello!

I have filename that contains following mp3 song information:

4342;Cher;Believe;Y;0;000
4343;Jovanotti;Bella;Y;0;001
4344;Eric Clapton;Change the World;Y;0;002
...
...
...
(ID;Artist;Song;Directory1;Directory2;filename)

The song files are located under different directories, for example: /Y/0/filename.mp3, or /X/2/filename.mp3

I need to write a script (shell) that would rename the files to the real artist and song names and copy them to single location, basically after extracting data from the upper file I need to get command similar to:

cp Y/0/002.mp3 Cher - Believe.mp3

or

cp X/4/009.mp3 Aerosmith - Amazing.mp3

I hope I was clear enough of my needs and I really need your help on this, since I've been trying for two days now, without any success.

Thanks!!

Hi!

Allready found the solution, if anyone need something similar here is it:

awk 'BEGIN {FS=";"} { printf("cp %s/%s/%s.mp3 \"new_directory/%s - %s.mp3\"\n", $4, $5, $6, $2, $3) }' file_list | sh

Asuming that the new files will go to new_directory and filelist is in file_list file.
