Exclude name in txt file.

[TehJonny]

Hey,

Just wondering how I exclude more then one show from my results for e.g

Code: Select all

--filter "n != /Doctor Who/"

How can I add multiple shows to this code?

Also is it possible to have the filter code above call a text file containing every show to exclude? if so how?

Kind Regards
-Jonathan

Yes, you can read files in your --filter Groovy expression. Other threads will show you how to read files, mostly for custom formats but it's the same for filters.

[TehJonny]

I cant even figure this out any chance you could give me a hand?

This page will help. Check out #4:

You will probably find multiple solutions by searching for "filter" and having a look at what others are doing.

I am an absolute novice when it comes to this kind of programming thing I have no idea how to do what I want to do, I tried searching for filter but cannot find anything like what I want?

[rednoah]

Something like this:

('/path/to/text/file' as File).text.contains(n)

[TehJonny]

Is there a away to add multiple shows to this function:

Code: Select all

--filter "n != /Doctor Who/"

[rednoah]

You wanted a solution with an external text file right? I just gave you that:

Check if text file contains the show name:

Code: Select all

('/path/to/text/file' as File).text.contains(n)

Maybe this is more easy to understand:

Check if text file contains a line that exactly matches the show name, and then only include those:

Code: Select all

readLines('D:/include.txt').contains(n)

Check if text file contains a line that exactly matches the show name, and then only exclude those:

Code: Select all

!readLines('D:/exclude.txt').contains(n)

* Make sure that the text file you read text from does not begin with a BOM marker. That would make the first line not work.

but then how do I add this to the utorrent run program I already have?

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "D:/Jonny's Stuff" --action copy --conflict auto -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=n clean=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D" --def "seriesFormat=/TVShows/{n}\{'Season '+s}\{n} - {sxe} - {t}" --filter "n != /The Magicians/"

[rednoah]

Exactly the same way as any other filter option...

You have:

Code: Select all

--filter "n != /The Magicians/"

You want:

Code: Select all

--filter "!readLines('D:/exclude.txt').contains(n)"

[TehJonny]

Code: Select all

Failure (°_°)

Any idea about this?

Also I cant seem to get the Update Kodi function to work???

I am running Kodi on a NVIDIA SHEILD TV BOX if that makes a difference?

[rednoah]

Don't use paths with special characters like ' if you don't know how to correctly escape those characters...

If you must have this path, then triple quotes will make this work:

Code: Select all

'''D:/Jonny's Stuff/Downloads/exclude.txt'''

Hi.

I've had problem with filter argument. I tried to use it as you suggested

Code: Select all

--filter "!readLines('f:/exclude.txt').contains(n)"

but script kept throwing exceptions on me

Code: Select all

ScriptException: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Script10.groovy: 1: unexpected char: 0xFFFF @ line 1, column 27.
   /exclude.txt').contains(n)

I've spent all night trying to figure what is wrong. Even started digging into FileBot sources for clues.
But i could not find why it wasnt working.

Turned out it was all windows fault...
I'm using FileBot in bat script and iterating through files in for loop

Code: Select all

	for /r %%i in (*.*) do (
		set "Filename=%%~nxi"
		if {%Path1:~-1,1%}=={\} (set "Result=%Path1%!Filename!") else (set "Result=%Path1%\!Filename!")
		"c:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --filter "!readLines('f:/exclude.txt').contains(n)" --output "f:" --log-file "f:\amcbt.log" --action test --conflict override -non-strict --def excludeList=amc-input.txt artwork=y subtitles=ru plex=localhost:ZwdywpegcQDhk4mWGVjV "seriesFormat=f:/TVShows/{n}/{'Season '+s}/{n.space('.')}.{'s'+s.pad(2)}e{e.pad(2)}.{t.space('.')}" "movieFormat=f:/Movies/{ny}/{n.upperInitial().space('.')}.{y}.{source}.{vc}" "musicFormat=f:/Music/{n}/{fn}" "ut_dir=!Result!" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=!Filename!" --lang ru
	)

For that script to work i had to enable extensions

Code: Select all

setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion

You might notice !Filename! instead of %Filename%.

Yeah, so, windows interpreted exclamation mark in

Code: Select all

!readLines('f:/exclude.txt').contains(n)

as start point for variable and screwed up whole line...

So speaking of escaping, you also might need to escape ! with ^ if you have extensions enabled in script.
Maybe this info will save someones night someday.

Fixed filter now looks like this

Code: Select all

--filter "^!readLines('f:/exclude.txt').contains(n)"

P.S. I was also trying to exclude old The Magicians show

You could have learned basic Groovy in that amount of time... CMD is to be avoided at all times.

Best to pass complex arguments via text files:

Code: Select all

--filter @F:/filter.txt

filter.txt

Code: Select all

!readLines('F:/exclude.txt').contains(n)
