line counting plugin
Hey people,
I've created a plugin that I want to share with you.
Here's the link: https://github.com/Nelliguns/line-counter-tmux
The reason for creating this plugin is that I received the question of how many lines of code it took to create a specific project of mine where I then started going through the different files and roughly summing them in my head. Which then sparked the idea of making this plugin.
Give it a try and let me now what you think, happy to receive feedback and ideas of improvements.
Hope you like it :)

TIL bash -c takes up to 2 arguments
I expected bash -c 'echo "[$@]"' 10 20 30 to print 10 20 30 but surprisingly it only showed 20 30.
On the other hand bash -c 'echo "[$0 $@]"' 10 20 30 prints 10 20 30.
In man page I found this:
-c
If the -c option is present, then commands are read from the
first non-option argument commandstring. **If there are arguments after the commandstring, the first argument is assigned
to $0 and any remaining arguments are assigned to the positional parameters. The assignment to $0 sets the name of the
shell, which is used in warning and error messages.
Did you know this?

Minimalistic Bash script to fuzzy search and open chrome bookmarks from cli
Hello bash fellows,
I was a bit annoyed by reopening my frequently used bookmarks in Chrome. I added an extension called Quickmarks but don't like it that much. I want to be faster. And I want to have fuzzy search.
Hence, I decided to create a script that fetches all my bookmarks from the file system and opens a fuzzy search session on the bookmark titles. On selection, it opens the related url in Chrome.

Custom waybar module for controlling gamma
Howdy folks! I'm very new to bash scripting and just wrote a couple scripts to control the temperature of my laptop's display from my bar. I wanted to put this somewhere in case it was useful to someone or there was a better way to do it. Right now there are a couple values that I want to be stored between instances of the scripts and I'm doing it in files. I wonder if there's a better way to do this that doesn't require the full absolute path of the files? Like if I can refer to the script's location in the file system?
Sorry if this question is super noobish, even a project this simple that's just a wrapper around someone else's code wasn't easy for me! So I appreciate any help I can get.

Create an If/Else Statement based on user input
I'm trying to add a portion to a script I'm making to just verify if something is installed, in this case I just want to verify if Flatpak is already installed on the computer, and if not, give the user the option to install Flatpak if they want to or not.
This is what I have so far but I'm unsure what command to use for user input. I did some Googling and found that the read command might work, but when I look up the man page on it on my machine, it looks different than what i'm seeing on sites like stackoverflow or AskUbuntu:
dpkg -s "flatpak" &> /dev/null
if $? -ne 0
then
echo "Flatpak is not currently installed on your system."
echo "Would you like to install Flatpak? (y,n): "
NOT SURE WHAT TO PUT HERE
else

Split string to an array with IFS by linebreak
Hello,
I am struggling with a simple task. I'm coming from python and decided to write a script with bash. For now I regret this, but try to accomplish it to learn. With python I would have finish this hours ago.
Here is the problem: I want to covert to following string to an iteratable array:
[ "Hello, hello1", "World", "How", "Are", "You" ]
the_string=$(echo $the_string | tr -d '[' | tr -d ']' | sed 's/\", \"/"\\n"/g')
"Hello, hello1"
"World"
"How"
"Are"
"You"
IFS=$'\n' read -r -a string_array <<< "$the_string"
Can someone help me with a task?

Daily note script
Under the ~/Desktop/Journal/ I have my journal pages, e.g 28-10-23.
I tried to write a script that would compare the current date with the file name under that directory.
If there's no file with the current date, it would create it, if there is, then it would sleep until there isn't.
The script goes like this:
d=$(date "+%d-%m-%y")
f=$(ls $HOME/Desktop/Journal | grep $d)
while true;
do
while [ "$d" == "$f" ];
do
sleep 1
done
touch $HOME/Desktop/Journal/$d
done
If the file is already there and I run the script, then it just sleeps, but if it isn't, then it creates it as well as doesn't go into the nested while loop for sleep, meaning it keeps creating it.
I don't understand why it doesn't go into the nested while loop for sleep when the file is created, but doesn't created it while in the nested while loop sleeping.

Flushing the read buffer, or something similar
Howdy, I've a tiny script which i've just updated to use inotifywait to block until a file is opened or closed, replacing a dumb periodic poll. Nice, like that. But the file is opened and closed a few times when it does, meaning when the access happens, the loop is executed (differently) a few times in a second or so. Is there any way I can purge the pending reads, and instead wait for a few seconds to let things settle and then see what's what?
inotifywait /dev/video? -e open,close -m | while read LINE
do
sleep 2 # wait for steady state
do_something_to_clear_any_backlog
lsof /dev/video? 2>&1 | grep -q zoom \
&& echo -e "\xA0\x01\x01\xA2" \
|| echo -e "\xA0\x01\x00\xA1"
done > /dev/ttyUSB1
TBH I guess I could just NOT use the -m and restart inotifywait each loop, but I'm mostly curious to know if there's a good solution this way.
\[BTW, as I think it's funny, this is a script that "puts on a red light" in another room when I'm on a zoom video call to stop my kids bugging me when I can't reply... so I called it "[roxanne.sh](https://roxanne.sh)" :D \]

cURL: Need to make host server think I am a browser and not cURL.
I found a website that posts stats every month that are useful to my business. They post them for free.
The link to download a csv file, which is the format I need, looks like an API call:
https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/tablet/chart.php?device=Tablet&devicehidden=tablet&statTypehidden=oscombined®ionhidden=ZA&granularity=monthly&statType=Operating%20System®ion=South%20Africa&fromInt=202209&toInt=202309&fromMonthYear=2022-09&toMonthYear=2023-09&csv=1
The problem I have, is if I paste that link in any browser, I get a CSV download. If I access it with wget or curl, I get a bit of useless XML data.
I suspect they are detecting client type to stop people doing this.
I simply want to write a script that pulls down certain datasets, then processes that so I can store the final data in a specific folder on my Nextcloud server. I want to use it for internal use (decision-making), but I want the data to be updated each month automatically, rather than me sit and manually download it each month.
I know cURL is super powerful and flexible, so can someone explain to me how I would get cURL to tell the host server that it is Firefox or Chrome or whatever?
Edit:
The problem I had was caused by a really stupid but easy to make mistake.
I ran the following:
curl https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/tablet/chart.php?device=Tablet&devicehidden=tablet&statTypehidden=oscombined®ionhidden=ZA&granularity=monthly&statType=Operating%20System®ion=South%20Africa&fromInt=202209&toInt=202309&fromMonthYear=2022-09&toMonthYear=2023-09&csv=1
That output the following:

Script doesnt fully work
Hello guys
So because of the recent decision of youtube making people not be able to watch ad-free videos with adblocker extension, I wanted to create an script so that I can watch videos with mpv. The issue I have with mpv is that the it doesnt buffer fast enough for me. So I wanted to combine yt-dlp with mpv.
Now my script is ready but it has an issue. It works when I run each command from the script on my own with the terminal. But when running the script via bash y.bash, it doesnt perform the last command.
This is my script:
url=$(xsel -bo)
filename=$(shuf -i 1-10000000 -n 1)
fileextension="webm"
yt-dlp -o - "$url" | mpv --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket - &
yt-dlp -o "/home/reddituser/Downloads/yt-dlp/$filename.$fileextension" "$url" && fullname="/home/reddituser/Downloads/yt-dlp/${filename}.${fileextension}"
timestamp=\"$(echo '{ "command": "get_property", "time-pos" }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket | jq -r '.data' | awk '{printf "%.6f\n", $1}')\"
echo $timestamp
echo '{ "command": "loadfile", "'"$fullname"'" }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
echo "{ \"command\": \"set\", \"time-pos\", $timestamp }" | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
The is the last command, that doesnt work
echo "{ \"command\": \"set\", \"time-pos\", $timestamp }" | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
This is how the script works:
1. variable "$url" is set to the value of clipboard
2. generate random filename
3. set webm as file extension
4. download (from $url) temporarily a 720p video with yt-dlp and directly pipe it to mpv, mpv directly plays the 720p video, also uses IPC so that I can get some values, make it run in the background with "&"
5. Download a high quality version (from $url), and save it to my location with the filename being $filename.$fileextension, wait until done and then set the variable $fullname for the fullpath&fullname
6. Value of $timestamp equals the current timestamp of the 720p video playing, example \\"RANDOM_FLOATIANG_POINT\\" or \\"23.23953\\"
7. Yes It needs to be escaped with \\"
8. replace the current 720p video playing with the new high resolution downloaded video
9. Set the timestamp for the high resolution video to the one of 720p had right before it got replaced
Now the issue is command 9 doesnt work.
I get this error: {"request_id":0,"error":"error running command"}
The reason for this script is to directly watch the youtube video and replace it as soon as possible with a high resolution one that got downloaded, this way I can seek very fast without buffering and I am not anymore reliant on youtube.

Help creating shell script for removing embedded subtitles from video files
I have a series of video lessons and part of the software leverages an AI assistant to automatically create and embed subtitles to the spoken parts. These subtitles are not captured and translated perfectly, so I'd like to be able to proofread and update these text files manually.
I have a file (queue.txt) where I list the full path to the video file, such as this:
/Volumes/Lessons/101/lesson1.mkv
/Volumes/Lessons/101/lesson2.mkv
/Volumes/Lessons/101/lesson3.mkv
I'd like to be able to run a shell script which takes this list of files and runs the following command against it:
mkvmerge -o <outputfilename> -S <inputfilepath>
The hope is that it outputs the following files in my current directory like this:
lesson1.mkv
lesson2.mkv
lesson3.mkv
Thanks so much in advance. This is not my area of expertise but I have a very large number of video lessons that I'm trying to make available for these students and ensure that subtitles are available for accessibility reasons.

Need help - (List the folders that contain the specified file and select from the list and move)
Hi,
I'm new to bash scripting, just starting to automate my linux journey. :)
I've been trying to find solutions to this, without any luck.
​
What the script should do:
\- cd to the main folder (Application)
\- Find which profile folders contain a specific file (File_X) and list them
\- The selection is made with a number, after which the script will move to that folder.
​
File structure:
/Application/profile 1/File_X
/Application/profile 2/
/Application/profile 3/File_X
/Application/profile 4/File_X
​
"These profile folders contain the necessary file you want to update:"
1. profile 1
2. profile 3
3. profile 4
"Give number to select" -> 2
\-> move to that selected folder -> profile 3
​
I hope my explanation is clear on some level. If you have a solution to this, I'd love to see it in the answers. If possible, could you also explain a bit what the different commands do. Like I said, I don't have much experience. However, I don't just want to copy/paste finished code, I also want to learn at the same time.

Trouble making shortcut for CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=
Hi, I got tired of typing `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=` so in my .bashrc, I put: `export cuda="CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"`. but it keeps giving me the error below for some reason. why is this so? i thought creating a variable would work.
$ time $cuda=3 python inference.py
-bash: CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=3: command not found
chatGPT suggested:
function set_cuda() {
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$1
}
which i guess works, but aesthetically, something close to `cuda=3` would be rly nice haha

The lesson here is always use quotes. Make it a habit, or special characters will make things frustrating...

Copy and rename file from shell script
This is a pretty basic question but I’ve been struggling getting this working for some reason. I am trying to copy a file from one directory to another and renaming it along with the copy. This is being done inside of a shell script, and I have a variable called $filename that stores the NEW file name. Here is the code snippet:
filename="IRcamfpgacksm${checksum}ver${version}.pdb"
#filename="Thisisafile.txt"
echo "filename: ${filename}"
cp ./par/ircamfpga/designer/impl1/*.pdb output/pl/$filename
The output of the echo command on the console is:
.pdbname: IRcamfpgacksmA415ver0x0081
But the file that gets copied to the new directory does not have the correct name. When I use the version of $filename that is commented out, it works perfectly fine.
