ignish

ignish (/ˈiɡ.ɲiʂ/) is a minimal domain-specific scripting language for file management and processing.

it tries to separate logic from shell execution. you write all of your logic, checks, etc in ignish, and then build and execute the shell command.

Note

this project is in it's very early stages! i don't even know if i'll ever finish it. check out .ish scripts other than test99.ish for what's currently working.

// this is what i want to have in the 1.0 release

var path = eval("pwd") // find current path
var my_dir = dir(path) // get a Directory object

// define a function with an argument
func process_directory(dir) {
    var items = dir.get_elements() // get all items in this directory

    for (element in items) {
        if (element.is_file()) {
            // if its a file, process it with ffmpeg and append -h265
            var path = element.path
            var name = element.name
            var basename = element.basename

            var output = "${my_dir}/${basename}-h265.mp4"
            print("currently processing: ${name}")

            eval("ffmpeg -i ${path} -vcodec libx265 -b:v 500k -acodec libopus ${output}")
        } else {
            // it is a directory, so just pass it back into the function
            process_directory(element)
        }
    }
}

// start the loop
process_directory(my_dir)
