A bash script that iterates through a directory of files and uses Omekadd to upload .yaml and .pdf files to Omeka.

iterate.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Written by Jason A. Heppler
# Iterate through the base directory, find all .yaml files and .pdf files, and
# upload these files to Omeka. For use with Caleb McDaniel's Omekadd Python 
# script: https://github.com/wcaleb/omekadd

# Last Modified: 2013-11-17

 # The script assumes the .yaml and .pdf share the same filename, so the two can
 # be matched together for upload (e.g., item001.yaml belongs with item001.pdf).

for i in *.yaml ; do

  # the pdf file will have the same filename as the yaml file
  filename_pdf=${i/%?????/}.pdf

  # upload to Omeka
  python /Users/jheppler/git/omekadd/omekadd.py $i -u $filename_pdf
