I'm trying to use id3edcmd with OS X 10.11.6

this code does not;

Code:
1
id3edcmd -en 'LAME 3.98' /Users/xxxx/Desktop/test/Disclosure - Feel Like I Do.mp3


this code does work;

Code:
1
id3edcmd -en 'LAME 3.98' /Users/xxxx/Desktop/test/Disclosure\ -\ Feel\ Like\ I\ Do.mp3


I'm trying to use id3edcmd with Hazel but it does not accept the escaped location.

I noticed in the previous post about bash, a non escaped location was being used.

Is there a reason not to put the path in quotes? As using escapes is very problematic in Unix scripts being a Mac only way of using paths with spaces.

For example:
Code:
1
id3edcmd -en "LAME 3.98" "/Users/xxxx/Desktop/test/Disclosure - Feel Like I Do.mp3"

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

id3edcmd -en 'LAME 3.98' "/Users/xxxx/Desktop/test/Disclosure - Feel Like I Do.mp3"

In quotes, solves it nicely in Terminal.

The developer of Hazel suggested,

Code:
1
id3edcmd -en 'LAME 3.98' "$1"


But although it does not throw any error in Hazel, it does not trigger id3edcmd.

I've also tried;

Code:
1
id3edcmd -en 'LAME 3.98' "{$1}"


Also unsuccessful, unfortunately.

I've found the problem and solved it;

The shell location was in correct for Hazel, I adjusted it and everything is working properly now.

Code:
1
/bin/bash

Code:
1
2
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/id3edcmd -en 'LAME 3.98' "$1"


Again, thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
