Here's a link to my updated "arcBuilder" and "idGet" files.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l65d45m6sao2uvg/AAB7xdDJ6mqlbFU8y5AcUcOXa?dl=0

Made a few more changes to them. Series with a comma (Firestorm, the Nuclear Man) and series with a period at the end (Infinity, Inc.) would fail. I adjust the searches to account for this. This version of arcBuilder works if your series are split into folders for year using the pattern

/Marvel/Star Wars/v1977

/Marvel/Star Wars/v2015

Just ran through a 75 issue build for Crisis on Infinite Earths with no problems.

I was thinking of doing the same thing to Mylar. What file/line? Can you share that edit?

Sure thing. Let me build a few more arcs and see if any issues pop up and then I'll remove some comments/echo statements I'm using for debugging.

Looking for the volume year was pretty easy. Basically you just do another call (bash added for my OSX environment)

#fullSeriesName=`echo $seriesName" ("$start_year")"` #original code           
fullSeriesName=`echo $seriesName`
volumeUID=$(bash idGet.sh "comics/$publisherUID/" "${fullSeriesName}")
seriesUID=$(bash idGet.sh "comics/$volumeUID/" "v$start_year")
echo $fullSeriesName"/v"$start_year
echo $seriesUID

Will post the full files later today

Got the arcBuilder.sh and idGet.sh modified to work on my setup. Will post/share if anyone else has a similar setup with Series in folders by year

/Marvel/Star Wars/v1977

/Marvel/Star Wars/v2015

Scanned for Fall of the Mutants and most series (Uncanny, X-Force, New Mutants) have multiple volumes, so it's working pretty good. Also looks for the exact match now - so it can tell Star Wars apart from Star Wars Darth Vader.

Thanks for all hard work and heavy lifting on this theme and scripts.

I've got it updated to scan the additional folders - based on "vSeries_Year" value. Any suggestions on the grep command. If I pass "Star Wars" in quotes - it returns

"Journey to Star Wars - The Force Awakens - Shattered Empire",226941 "Star Wars",232305 "Star Wars - Vader Down",232436

Can't for the life of me figure out the right syntax to get it to just match "Star Wars" in the

grep -n -o "${searchval}"

line of code

Made a good bit of progress on getting the arcBuilder.sh to run on my setup. Stepped through it and idGet.sh to see what it was doing. It looks for "Comic Name (Year)" and I've got "Comic Name". Modifying idGet.sh fixed that, but here's what I found and wondering if you had any input.

idGet.sh "comics/" "Marvel"

returns the correct publisher id of 218708

However

idGet.sh comics/218708/ Star Wars

returns 225098 which is Giant Size Super-Stars

if I quote the idGet call

idGet.sh "comics/218708/" "Star Wars"

I get 226941 which is Journey to Star Wars - The Force Awakens - Shattered Empire

So I see what it's doing and likely related to how the comics are laid out/named.

My other issue is if it were to find Star Wars - that's actually a folder with this structure

/Marvel/Star Wars/v1977/

/Marvel/Star Wars/v2015/

Did you ever find out what was causing this? I/m trying to run the arcBuilder on my mac and it's finding comics and writing blank likes. If there are 6 issues in an arc, I get 6 blank lines. It parses the Title and Description for the folder_info.html - just blank lines on the CSV

Tried on Win7 with no luck either. Would definitely be interested if you get it running. I'm planning to look at it as well, but too busy with work at the moment.

Absolute genius work! Thanks for sharing.

That's how I have mine too. Just not showing anything/any way to access it. It is still re-scanning my library however. I figured with the "__" at the beginning of the folder it would grab it first.

I'll be glad to edit the CSS and add that top bar button.
