    One thing that will become important pretty quick if you continue making these scripts is that it’s almost always better to wrap your variables in quotes - so it becomes yt-dlp -x “$a”.

    Oh man, this reminds me of the joke that any program that’s more complex than Hello World has bugs – and folks still don’t even agree how to spell “Hello, World!”.

    Of course, Bash is a particular minefield in this regard…

      I once wrote a 2 line, 10 word script that had 9 bugs in it. I’m not overly proud of that one.
