short script to read and create matching directories

Question

I need to do a z:\music\: dir *flac* to get a listing of directories... (they are named Artist - Album [flac])

and from that list of directors, create new matching directories, but replace the [flac] part with [mp3]

I can do this from linux, or windows. Either is available.

Answer 1

Try with this

#!/bin/bash
find /mount/point/of/z -type d -name '*flac*' | while read dir
do
   newdir=`echo $dir | sed -e 's/\[flac\]/\[mp3\]/'`
   mkdir -p "$newdir"
done
