I'm looking for a command line application (really simple, that uses only text files for storage) that can catalog my backup dvds. Something similar to WhereIsIt, but using command line.
Suppose I have 10 dvds, each one with a lot of files. I would like to "catalog" these dvds to a lot of text files, and, when needing to search for a file inside these dvds, instead of checking all dvds, I would just search the catalog.
Any recommendations?
Can you give a better example of what you want to do? – Joe Internet – 2011-06-09T03:01:39.323

So you only want to keep a list of the file names, then if you need file abc.xyz, you'll search for that file name in the text file catalog? – Joe Internet – 2011-06-09T03:10:06.090
@Joe Internet: Yep. I know I can use 10 lines of bash script to do it, using only (like find . * > /home/user/catalog1), but I would like to know if anyone did something like that. – Somebody still uses you MS-DOS – 2011-06-09T03:12:08.537
