[SOLVED] simple bash script that opens all url in .txt file?

ArchNewbieKernel · 2021-09-06 17:58:01

Hi there,

I cant find a bash script that would allow me to open all links (one per line in .txt) at once.

Is there even one in the wild or has someone even the skills to publish one in this topic? It would came in handy.

In hope of supportive answers.

Just read each line into something like xdg-open?

What have you come up with so far?

Trilby · 2021-09-06 18:52:02

while read url; do $BROWSER "$url"; done < url_list.txt

lambdarch · 2021-09-06 19:01:17

$BROWSER $(<url_list.txt)

Does not work with xdg-open.

#!/bin/bash

while read url; do $LibreWolf "$url"; done < YT-SUBSCRIPTIONS.txt

is outputting

./ytsubsopen.sh
./ytsubsopen.sh: line 3: $'bald and bankrupt\r': command not found
: No such file or directorytps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxDZs_ltFFvn0FDHT6kmoXA
./ytsubsopen.sh: line 3: $'Simple History\r': command not found
: No such file or directorytps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC510QYlOlKNyhy_zdQxnGYw
./ytsubsopen.sh: line 3: $'Reactistan\r': command not found
: No such file or directorytps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWGmhDFi3fB5DA1nuVRsPIQ

.

seems like the one-liner removes 'ht' in URL in each line.

my YT-SUBSCRIPTIONS.txt looks like this

# bald and bankrupt
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxDZs_ltFFvn0FDHT6kmoXA
# Simple History
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC510QYlOlKNyhy_zdQxnGYw
# Reactistan

sed '/^#/d' YT-SUBSCRIPTIONS.txt | xargs $LibreWolf

this outputs a single URL in terminal only which I can click on.

lambdarch · 2021-09-07 09:30:05

Oh this is a mac file, or windows?
To be sure:

sed -z 's/\r/\n/g' YT-SUBSCRIPTIONS.txt | sed -E '/^#|^$/d' | xargs $LibreWolf

??? This is a ARCH LINUX Forum.

It now displays all links in terminal instead of opening them in browser directly.

Well, you seem to have some "\r" in your file:

If $LibreWolf is a web browser the above command should work, it's up to you now...

this is wrong because there is no "\r", is just the empty void after the link in the same line.

Why have you replaced $BROWSER with $LibreWolf?
You were meant to either use it as-is if you have the correct environmental variable set or replace it with the name of the browser binary (excluding the $).

I give you on that but about the solution of this topic?

Fix the EOL, then use Trilby's oneliner correctly (see Slithery's comment)
You also want to overread the comments or pick lines starting w/ http explicitly.

while read line; do [[ "$line" = "http"* ]] && librewolf "$line"; done <  YT-SUBSCRIPTIONS.txt # afaics the binary is "librewolf" w/o CamelCasing

Your oneliner did it, thanks.
