I would first run:

mysql -u username -p repopassword eprints -e "SELECT eprintid FROM eprint WHERE type = 'cartographic' AND eprint_status = 'archive';" | tail -n +2

to see if the output is ok (should return a list of pids separated by spaces. Then yes, it should be it. Beware that if the password contains some characters interpreted by bash, maybe some escaping could be necessary.

Note: you've to do it because the format of the command output is:

+----------+
| eprintid |
+----------+
|     XXXX |

...

+----------+

so you will not get the list separated by a space. Is this correct, David? Here you can find some hint, but you can use a editor to get the list of eprintids to get this format:

XXXX ZZZZ WWWW

adding -N -B remove the extra characters from the output (|, headers) and you can use group_concat to get all in one line:

mysql -u username -p repopassword eprints  -N -B  -e "SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(eprintid SEPARATOR ' ') FROM eprint WHERE type = 'cartographic' AND eprint_status = 'archive';"

so the command should be

./generate_abstracts digimap `mysql -u username -p repopassword eprints  -N -B  -e "SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(eprintid SEPARATOR ' ') FROM eprint WHERE type = 'cartographic' AND eprint_status = 'archive';"`

Dear Yuri and David, is this the exact command that I have to run in the terminal?

./generate_abstracts digimap `mysql -u username -p repopassword eprints -e "SELECT eprintid FROM eprint WHERE type = 'cartographic' AND eprint_status = 'archive';" | tail -n +2`

digimap is my repoid

eprints is my database

An idea could be to have a generic utils with a query parameter in json
format, so a search is run with that query and the resulting eprintids
used. For example:

bin/find_eprintids <ARCHIVEID> -query '{"type": "conference_item",
"eprint_status": "archive"}' |  xargs bin/generate_abstracts <ARCHIVEID>

(dates could be expressed in iso format). The util 'find_eprintids'
would do:

foreach $key (keys %fields)
{
  $searchexp->add_field( $ds->get_field( $key ), $fields($key) );
}

my $list = $searchexp->perform_search;

and then return the eprintids from the list.

This could help to combine together multiple search results in a single
file, and cat the file | xargs bin/generate_abstracts <ARCHIVEID>.

I usually use the db as below to get all the eprintids I need to process
but an "eprints" search could be useful/simpler to use.
