Bash Script for converting APE to FLAC

This is a little script I use for batch converting ape files in a folder into flac.

 

#!/bin/bash
for f in *.ape
do
    mac "$f"  "${f%.*ape}.wav" -d && flac --best "${f%.*ape}.wav" && rm "${f%.*ape}.wav"
done
 

PowerShell Script for batch WAV/APE to FLAC

This is a script I use for converting any WAV/APE files in a folder to FLAC.

$files = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -path . -filter *.ape
foreach ($file in $files) {
    $path = Split-Path -Path $file.FullName
    $new_name = [IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($file) + ".wav"
  
    $new_name = Join-Path $path $new_name
  
    mac $file.FullName $new_name -d
}

$files = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -path . -filter *.wav
foreach ($file in $files) {
    flac --best $file.FullName
}

Convert multiple text files to UTF encoding

If you have multiple files and want to convert them all into UTF (without BOM), you can try this PowerShell script.

Get-ChildItem . -recurse -File -filter *.txt* | % {
        $MyFile = Get-Content -Raw $_.Fullname
        $MyPath = $_.Fullname
        [System.IO.File]::WriteAllLines($MyPath, $MyFile, [System.Text.UTF8Encoding]($False))
}

[System.IO.File]::WriteAllLines is used instead of the more commonly used Out-File because the latter outputs UTF8-BOM instead of plain UTF.
