What I'm trying to do is simply make this command
-shell
find . -name "*flac" -exec oggenc -q 7 {} \;
spit the oggs out into whatever folder that I choose. I've tried just putting ~/vorbis
at the end of the command, but I get a predicate error:
find: possible unquoted pattern after predicate `-execdir'?
I've been through the "find manpage", and I understand that the {}
at the end of -q 7
is there to find flac
files. So this is throwing me for a loop.
Anyone know what I have to add to that command so I can output oggs into chosen folder?
Thanks for reading and helping.
By the way, I did try:
-shell
find . -name "*flac" -exec oggenc -q 7 ~/vorbis {} \;
but that only spit the oggs into the folder with the flacs. Not a ~/vorbis
folder. I'm trying to keep folder name and structure put output it into a folder of my choosing (~/vorbis
). And I 'm not asking for a full script. I'm just simply asking for somebody to explain how I can get what I'm trying to achieve.
Thank you!
