Anyone Know A .saf Creator For Mac

[RyanWebley]

just wondering if anyone knows a .saf creator that works on Mac or if anyone has a working python script for the latest version of python and could explain how to use the script, any help would be much appreciated.

Here's a bash script I use on Linux. I'm pretty sure people have used this on Macs before.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
# Simple Archive Format
#


#set -C

if test "_$1_" = _c_
then
        shift

        for f in "$@"
        do
                if ! test -f "$f"
                then
                        echo 1>&2 "error: $f is not a regular file"
                        exit 1
                fi

                wc -c "$f" | (read size name; echo "$size $f")
        done

        echo -

        cat "$@"
else
        echo "To create an archive use: saf.sf c files..."
        echo "To extract an archive use: saf.sf x"
fi

fi

This is probably obvious but where and how would I use this script?

Copy all lines of the code, paste it into textEdit. Save it like "saf.sh" (make sure it's the .sh extension, not .rtf or whatever the default option is. The you can run the file from the terminal.

On Linux you'd do this:

1. Open a terminal.
2. Type "cat >saf.sh" and press enter.
3. Paste the script contents and press ctrl-d. (You should see the shell prompt again when you press ctrl-d.)
4. Type "chmod +x saf.sh" and press enter.

Now you should be able to run the script like this: "~/saf.sh c test.png >test.saf"

You're generally going to want to cd to the correct directory first, e.g. "cd ~/.wine/drive_c/users/ryan/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/MX\ Simulator/", then "~/saf.sh c mytrack/* >mytrack.saf".
