Feature Request: Ability to pipe std out into deluge-console

Post by james_h143 »

In deluge-console i would like to be able to pipe stuff in

e.g. i can get a list of torrent IDs with the following command:

Code: Select all

deluge-console info | grep -i ID: | sed -e 's/\ID: //g'
i would like to be able to pipe this into deluge-console commands e.g. del

i did try it:

Code: Select all

user@host:~$ deluge-console info | grep -i ID: | sed -e 's/\ID: //g'

user@host:~$ deluge-console info | grep -i ID: | sed -e 's/\ID: //g' | deluge-console del
Usage: rm <torrent-id>
could be useful for pausing and resuming all torrents too e.g. if i wanted to create a cron job for only having them active when i'm asleep or something

if someone knows of another way to do something to this effect i would be interested in knowing

You could write a shell-function/script, e.g. this one-liner where you give command and match as args, but made very quickly so could be better, like e.g. append '--confirm' whenever 'rm' command given, so you don't have specify that yourself after the 'rm' etc - you have to quote currently if using --confirm, so "rm --confirm", and if wanting processing all, then don't add anything for match after command, and for partial-match then add some chars from wherever in name and no asterisk, but you can though use one or two asterisks if wanted, but then just need quoting the match given - very quickly made as said :) :

Code: Select all

deluge-console "info -v" | grep Name: | cut -c7- | egrep "$2" | while read line; do deluge-console $1  $line; done
However, you could just as well use the built-in functionality, so e.g.

Code: Select all

deluge-console "rm/pause/resume/move *"
Or:

Code: Select all

deluge-console "rm/pause/resume/move arch*"
Or:

Code: Select all

deluge-console "rm/pause/resume/move *linux*"
Remember with rm/del use '--confirm' instead of '-c' because of bug not fixed yet, with overlapping args.

Edit: Just realized you're on deluge1 from the way you express the args, so somethings slightly different, e.g. no move command I believe, and I believe it only globs from beginning of torrent-name, and I used no asterisk for partial matches on deluge1 I remember, as worked anyway(e.g. 'a' for archlinux*), in contrary to deluge2 where specifically is needed to work(and can glob backwards also), but cannot 100% remember, so take with grain of salt. I believe '*' was supported for all torrents on deluge1 too, but you have to test yourself.
