FileBot

Hi All,

Hope someone can help. I am getting the below syntax error when running the below command.

syntax error near unexpected token `('

filebot -rename old/Season01/* --db TheTVDB --action copy --output new/ --format {n}/Season{s.pad(2)}/{n}.{s00e00}.{t}

The funny thing is, if I remove the () then the command runs fine even if I enter random letters to replace the brackets. The padding of coarse, does not work though.

Thanks in advance.

Fixed my own problem.

Left out "" on the format section, so for completeness here is the comparison:

Old: filebot -rename old/Season01/* --db TheTVDB --action copy --output new/ --format {n}/Season{s.pad(2)}/{n}.{s00e00}.{t}

New:filebot -rename old/Season01/* --db TheTVDB --action copy --output new/ --format "{n}/Season{s.pad(2)}/{n}.{s00e00}.{t}"

(...) probably has special meaning in your shell, so correctly quoting arguments is important. Please read Cmdline and Argument Passing.


Use the @file syntax for reading command-line arguments from external text files.
