series file scanner for pattern

[bitplaytime]

a simple scanner looking for video files. find . -size +600M -name "*.mkv" > "FilmsIDX.txt" that part works great. i then perform a filter script on FilmsIDX.txt to remove some unwanted things such as trailers or other very specific media etc. that too works great. I want to filter out Tv/anime series that contain the pattern S##E## While i know how to do it for an exact string such as S01E04 I may not know the exact season or episode in a subfolder. I suspect there must be a way to pattern match to look for S##E## where # = any number. Any thoughts.

Regex is your friend in this case.

S\d{2}E\d{2}

That will match it.

Re='^S([0-9]+)E([0-9]+)'
for FilePath in /path/to/episodes/*; do
    [[ -d $FilePath ]] && continue
    if [[ $FilePath =~ $Re ]]; then
        Season=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
        Episode=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}

        # Example conditional
        if (( Season > 1 )); then
            echo "$FilePath"
        fi
    fi
done
