I'm trying to run shasum on mulitple files and copy the output to the clipboard.
In the terminal it's simple calculate the checksum on multiple files.
shasum /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100CANON/A99A0708.MP4 /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100CANON/A99A0710.MP4 /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100CANON/A99A0711.MP4 /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100CANON/A99A0712.MP4 /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100CANON/A99A0713.MP4 /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100CANON/A99A0714.MP4 /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100CANON/A99A0715.MP4
and the ouput is the checksum /path for each file on a seperate line
in automator run shell script shasum /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/card2/A99A0686.MP4 outputs the checksum and path then copy to clipboard does it's thing.
when I try dragging multiple files in the automator work flow i get "Run Shell Script" encountered an error :zsh:2: exec format error:/path zsh:3: exec format error:/path zsh:4: exec format error:/path .... repeating for how many files I try dragging in to the work flow.
When the workflow is saved as an application it outputs a single checksum that doesn't match any one file.
Is there a way to get the application to output the checksum for each file and copy all the results to the clipboard so I can paste them into a spread sheet as a group.
In your Run Shell Script action, set the 'Pass input:' pulldown menu to 'as arguments', then use the following code:
for f in "$@"
do
shasum "$f"
done
