Help with translating bash script for Windows

hi everyone. So I have the below script to generate contact sheets for large image files in bash/Linux. However I need to transfer this to Windows notebook at work (I am not allowed to instull Linux there).
I have installed ImageMagic for Windows
I am just so lost at how to make it all work in either command line or Window's powershell. I am still reading, but it takes time. Perhaps any advanced Windows professionals would help me with translation of the below code for Windows? I would be so very grateful. Thanks so much
Code: Select all
IFS=$'\n'
mkdir n;
for f in `find . -iname "*jpg"`; do
convert $f -set option:mylabel "%wx%h\n%f" -verbose -font Helvetica -pointsize 15 -geometry 200x200+2+2 -auto-orient -resize 200x200 -fill 'gray' -gravity center label:"%[mylabel]" -append n/$f;done
cd n;
montage -font Helvetica -pointsize 10 -background '#FFFFFF' -fill 'gray' -geometry 300x300+2+2 -auto-orient * contact-light.jpg
mv contact-light.jpg ../
cd ../
rm n -rf
It would be perfect to just make any executable file and run it in specific folder, just like I have .sh bash scripts with the above code

This simple BAT script should be almost an exact translation from your bash script to Windows CMD...
Code: Select all
@echo off
mkdir n
for %%I in ( *.jpg ) do (
convert "%%I" -set option:mylabel "%%[w]x%%[h]\n%%[f]" -verbose ^
-font Helvetica -pointsize 15 -geometry 200x200+2+2 -auto-orient ^
-resize 200x200 -fill gray -gravity center label:"%%[mylabel]" -append "n\%%I"
)
cd n
montage -font Helvetica -pointsize 10 -background #FFFFFF -fill gray ^
-geometry 300x300+2+2 -auto-orient *.jpg contact-light.jpg
move contact-light.jpg ..\
cd ..\
rmdir /s /q n
exit /b
Copy that into a text editor and save it with a name like "myscript.bat". If the script is in the same directory as your images, you should be able to run it from a Windows command prompt or by double-clicking it in a Windows explorer (file manager) window.
To run those commands directly from the command line you'd need to change any double percent signs "%%" to singles "%".
I haven't tried working it into a PowerShell script, but it's so simple I probably wouldn't bother.

The question is really about scripting, not ImageMagick.
See
IM with Cygwin and
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/
If you have many bash scripts, I suggest you install bash on your Windows computer.
Bash and Windows BAT scripts have different "for" commands. So:
Code: Select all
for f in `find . -iname "*jpg"`; do
convert $f -set option:mylabel "%wx%h\n%f" -verbose -font Helvetica -pointsize 15 -geometry 200x200+2+2 -auto-orient -resize 200x200 -fill 'gray' -gravity center label:"%[mylabel]" -append n/$f ;
done
... becomes (untested)...
Code: Select all
for %%F in (*jpg) do (
convert %%F -set option:mylabel "%%wx%%h\n%%f" -verbose -font Helvetica -pointsize 15 -geometry 200x200+2+2 -auto-orient -resize 200x200 -fill gray -gravity center label:"%%[mylabel]" -append n\%%F
)

thanks for reply everyone, actually managed to translate everything myself.
About 10 minutes reading on syntax and rules of Windows PowerShell, and I set it all up. Thought it would differ much from bash, but it doesn't.
