I'm trying to make a script that will merge two subtitles.
file.srt
file.forced.srt
file2.srt
file2.Forced.srt
I have a case insensitive for matching both forced subtitles.
shopt -s extglob
shopt -s nocaseglob
for file in "${1%/}/"*forced.srt; do
echo File: "$file"
done
I have this code to remove forced string from the filename, so I get the matching file to use in my script
subs=${file//.Forced/}
How can I remove this string forced from my variable, case insensitive?
You want the nocasematch shell option here, rather than (just) nocaseglob:
If the
nocasematchshell option (see the description of shopt in The Shopt Builtin) is enabled, the match is performed without regard to the case of alphabetic characters.
nocaseglob is only for true filename expansion (like you used in your for loop), but doesn't apply to other places pattern matching occurs. For your use case you actually need both enabled so that both the filename expansion and the pattern match do it.
For only those two characters in that one spot, you can use [Ff] to match both F and f there.
shopt -s too to enable this option?
nocaseglob.
.srtfiles are listed when the goal is to merge only two files.
