Hi I am experimenting with the command line mastodon client toot If I save some text in for example toot.txt then run toot post < toot.txt The content of toot.txt is posted to Mastodon (as expected) Posting pictures however is a two step process 1. run toot upload file.png will give me the following Successfully uploaded media ID 105448798680946910, type 'image'Original URL: https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_011f6e315d3744d498d93f6fa0d9b5ee/qotoorg/media_attachments/files/105/448/798/680/946/910/original/27bd608eb6e11dab.png Preview URL: https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_011f6e315d3744d498d93f6fa0d9b5ee/qotoorg/media_attachments/files/105/448/798/680/946/910/small/27bd608eb6e11dab.png
Text URL: https://qoto.org/media/nDWr_rzPjQbyxsh6ikA In general I can manually copy / paste a url from the above to a toot. However doing this from the command line,toot upload file.png > picture.txt which produces a text file containing similar text to the above.
Question :How would I for example extract 'just' the url for the picture (e.g the text url line. 'https://qoto.org/media/nDWr_rzPjQbyxsh6ikA' which will be different each time, but would have 'https://qoto.org/media'
running cat output1.txt | grep "https://qoto.org/media"; >> toot.txt appears to keep the "Text URL: " in place but does include the url. Can anyone help please. I am probably 90% of the way there with this.
