Larry Hastings - Solve Your Problem With Sloppy Python - PyCon 2018 

That's exactly the reason why python exists!!!! 🍺🐍

I wrote the same thing using a singular Raku regex to match the filename. Which among other things meant that I didn't have to put the list of files into the program. gist.github.com/b2gills/826f4d0421c5956099d73df70c0bf97f

Tech Jutsu agreed

No, subprocess it!!!!

@@humpingmushroom2658 nothing wrong with f strings, but if you've ever used Perl or bash extensively, they wouldn't appear to be such a killer feature

I like Raku for sys-admin / command line stuff. Small example gist.github.com/b2gills/93d1e2aa6583b95315b2 Those multi sub MAIN are different argument lists you could give it. The comments with #| are documentation comments that gets included in the USAGE message. If you called that like ｢bytes --help｣ (or anything else that doesn't match the arguments) it will give you this generated USAGE message: Usage: bytes -- the number of bytes on the clipboard bytes -- the number of bytes in a file bytes --stdin -- the number of bytes from stdin I used that a lot when I was writing code golfs regularly. I also translated the Python program in this video to Raku gist.github.com/b2gills/826f4d0421c5956099d73df70c0bf97f

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Too difficult.

How would you rename the songs? Would I have to learn sed or awk also?

heh shell script "bash"ing

I guess you missed the context in which his claim was made. To his goals, writing short automation scripts, shell turns out to be awfully bad.
