OfflineBay Bash Version

[throwaway111111.....]

So before i begin i just want to say that i do not wish to get any kind of recognition for this offlinebay nor any responsibility for what it may be used for
i wrote this because the other version of the offlinebay requires you to go through a lot of trouble which is completely unnecessary (and don't get me started on the last one that required you to install java)

offlinebay.sh (423 bytes)

Code:

grep -ia "$1" torrent_dump_full.csv | while read -r line; do printf "\n" && echo "$line"  | head -n1 | cut -d ";" -f1 && echo "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:"$(echo $(echo "$line"  | head -n1 | cut -d ";" -f2) | xargs | base64 -d -i | hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02x" ' && printf "\n") && echo "$line" | head -n1 | cut -d ";" -f3 && echo $(echo "$line" | head -n1 | cut -d ";" -f4) | xargs | numfmt --to=iec-i --suffix=B && printf "\n"; done

it really doesn't require you to install anything else but maybe numfmt which is only used to format the total size of the torrent, i would suggest that you put this script in the same directory as the torrent-dump_full.cvs, otherwise if you don't want to, you should add the correct location of the file, also it is fair to say that this could probably remade in a much simpler way so if any of you were to do a mod to the script please make it available it for everyone,

Usage:
$ sh offlinebay.sh foobar

Nice idea! I'll try something in Windows, maybe a miniature pirate Access97 app.

BotNot a bad idea. I will try to make my own batch file, as I'm on WinDOS. There's some win-grep similar which is cut for it. Or just runtime Access.

It seems like you're not updated at all. Not every day to day user is comfortable with using command line/console applications. The usefulness of a properly executed GUI is indescribable. I'm all for new ideas and improvements. But pretty sure you can do those things without bashing alternatives/predecessors.

[waregim]

TT, your GUI is of great value, and greatly simplifies acquiring torrents.

But scripts are simply more powerful. They can be used to interact with OTHER programs.

The ideal app would have full GUI fuctions. with each scriptable from the command line.

Also: I dunno if Win users can run that script well without Cygwin installed. Highly recommend Cygwin in any case as it supplies many needed Posix functions and apps lacking lacking in Win (Perl,bash,pyhon, ruby, etc)

[dueda]

Under normal conditions Unix scripts won't run, syntax error. WindowsXP had the "Posix subsystem" hidden under the hood and newer versions have the command prompt Powershell that should be compatible, but I couldn't know.

[waregim]

Some folks might have had some Linux functions on XP, but as part of other programs that installed Python/Perl to make them work.

Powershell seems to go out of its way to avoid the Unix names and does provide Win specific abilities.

Cygwin is a fully functional Linux operating under the Win microkernel. You can even run the basic KDE/Gnome GUI within it. Compile with it, also. It has the full set of Linux commands, but some may not be as 'efficient' as the Linux kernel in piping commands together, and poerhaps, process control.
NB: It runs invisibly on a Win system, and comes only when called. And *must* be added to the PATH for it to automatically find the Linux apps.
