Request: Adding individual hash comparison

[darealshinji]

What I mean is the idea to copy+paste a CRC/MD5 hash and compare it to a single file without the need of creating an .md5 or .sfv file to do that. I'm thinking of something like this: animecheck --checkmd5="d766f8922840576f654839aef4b57c52" "ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso" animecheck --checkcrc32="6FBE4124" "Anime_[6FBE4124].mkv"

Hmm, I'm not sure about this. This is too close to what you can already knock up with a script, or should be doable with a script (I'm supposed to follow the UNIX philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well - already breached with the different hash modes etc, but I've tried to keep things simple).

You know the hash you want, therefore if you run animecheck and get a different hash then its bad. animecheck'll do CRC32 hashes automatically and MD5 hashes with --md5-hash-mode.

Is there something that could be changed to make animecheck more scriptable?

Yeah, you're right. I did some Google search and wrote a simple shell script to do that:

!/bin/sh

if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then echo "Usage: \033[1;37mmd5compare\033[0m [MD5SUM] [FILE]" exit 0 else md5check=${1} md5file=md5sum -b "${2}" | cut -b-32 [ $md5check = $md5file ] && echo "\033[1;32mEqual\033[0m" || echo "\033[1;31mNot Equal\033[0m" fi

It's very useful to me to compare md5 sums for single ISO files.

OK, I will close this.
