Thread: mass script generator?

i have hundreds of .zip n64 games. want write small scripts each 1 @ once using line in each script:

there program create script command in each script proper .zip filename, , name script same .zip filename?

i.e.

1. scans mortalcombat.zip (file)

2. inputs in script, mupen64plus --fullscreen --nogui --noosd /mnt/tera/roms/mortalcombat.zip

3 names script mortalcombat.sh

you forgot
4 chmod +x mortalcombat.sh (besides kombat)

can create script act universal launcher, let's run_game.sh

code:

#!/bin/bash  echo mupen64plus --fullscreen --nogui --noosd "$1"

or alias in shell configuration - best option
gedit ~/.bashrc , find section aliases , add own

code:

alias run_game='mupen64plus --fullscreen --nogui --noosd'

you run run_game mk2.zip (and shell if tapped tab autocomplete existing file names)

if want generate scripts each existing zip

code:

for z in *.zip; scr="${z%.zip}.sh"; echo $'#!/bin/bash\n\nmupen64plus --fullscreen --nogui --noosd "'"$z"'"' > "$scr"; chmod +x "$scr"; done
