Batch QR codes?

[WorldOfBitcoin]

I've used the Google QR code generator before.

But I want to run a script that takes a list of address's (excel or csv) and turns them into hundreds of individual .jpg files.

ware do I start?

On linux you can use qrencode in a script to do this

can you show an example?

for a simple addr list do not even need a script

for x in `cat addrlist.txt`; do qrencode -o $x.png $x; done

EDIT: you need install qrencode first ( apt-get install qrencode )
You can use -s to specify the size of dot

[WorldOfBitcoin]

qrencode -o test.png add2.txt

returns a singular file png of "add2.txt"



qrencode -o test.png $add2.txt


returns a singular file png of "add2"




qrencode -o $test.png $add2.txt

does nothing


What am I missing?


my txt file looks like this

[tbcoin]

you're not doing what I said.

copy and paste:

for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -o $x.png $x; done

EDIT: I can't see your dropbox file

so, ran into a bit of a snag


I need to number the files in the order they are processed.

-o FILENAME  write PNG image to FILENAME. If '-' is specified, the result
               will be output to standard output. If -S is given, structured
               symbols are written to FILENAME-01.png, FILENAME-02.png, ...;
               if specified, remove a trailing '.png' from FILENAME.



if I try

for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -o  -S $x.png $x; done

it does a single file named -S


ive tried

$-.png

$'-'.png

for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -o -S  $x.png $x; done

for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -S $x; done <this outputs a single file named himbhs>



I dont understand "If -S is given" trying to get the -01 -02 -03 ext

[tbcoin]

i=1;for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -o $i.png $x; ((i++); done

the -S needs to come before the -o and you need to remove the .png from the filename.
altho I don't understand why do you want that option, given that the files will already be numbered.

trying

i=1;for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -S -o $i $x; ((i++); done

is returning

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `done'





I need the files in order, because the order they are in the txt file is very different then "alphabetical" how it dumps out on my desktop

I tried moving my excel around and it counts differently.

the files are saving as the bitcoin address, and it acting weird with the order

1A...
1Z
11

vr

11
12..
1A


I tried sorting by "time" but that didnt work

Try this one

Code:

i=1;for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -S -o $i $x; ((i++)); done

[tbcoin]

i=1;for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -o $i.png $x; ((i++); done

this works, why you change it?

[Raoul Duke]

i=1;for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -o $i.png $x; ((i++); done

this works, why you change it?

It will work when you fix the error you have. It's missing the last closing parenthesis.

And yes, the -S is not needed, also, so the correct one

Code:

i=1;for x in `cat add2.txt`; do qrencode -o $i.png $x; ((i++)); done
