dspace's import file format and shell scripting/line noise

[deborah]

I may be a librarian now, and I may be a tcsh user in my every day life, but apparently I still can flex my bash-fu when I have to. Yay for line noise!

export j=1;for i in `ls M*.xml`; do k=${foo-`echo $i|cut -f1 -d.`}; mkdir item_$j;cp ${k}.xml item_$j/dublin_core.xml; echo ${k}.jpg>item_$j/contents;cp
../streams/${k}.jpg item_$j;let j++;done

Dude. You just totally lost me.

That means I have succeeded!

(That's the shell one liner that, given a directory of jpegs named [foo].jpg and a directory of dublin core encoded in xml named equivalently [foo].xml, creates the files and directory structure necessary for a dspace batch ingest.)
