bash script: turns roms in a dir to fatsafe zip and .cut

Code:
#! /bin/bash

#romtoxbox.sh   v1.1

#run from a directory that CONTAINS folder '/rom', which should contain unzipped roms with proper names). 

# the script creates output directories ./zip and ./cut, 



##~/code/xbox/romtoxbox.sh -from ./ -rompath 'E:\emu\neogenesis\sgenroms' -metalabel '(Sega)' -shortmetalabel SG

# ^^ would create, as a long example, the shortcut file SGDisneyCollection-CastleIllusion&Qu.cut, the zip file DisneyCollection-CastleIllusion&Qu.zip (oops, the zip should have those two extra chars)

# contents of that .cut file will be:



###begin

#    <shortcut>

#  <path>E:\emu\neogenesis\default.xbe</path> 

# <label>Disney Collection - Castle of Illusion & Quack Shot (Sega)</label>

#    <custom>

#        <game>E:\emu\neogenesis\sgenroms\DisneyCollection-CastleIllusion&Qu.zip</game>

#      </custom>

#</shortcut>

###end#



# note that the path to the default.xbe is determined by the -rompath argument.  You can override  by including -emuxbe [E:\..\.xbe] as the LAST arguement



# the error rate is about 1/500, when working with my mostly non-redundant inputs, and even then, it only knocks out the remaining non-unique titles over 40 characters.



#these is my setup:

#~/code/xbox/romtoxbox.sh   -rompath 'E:\emu\neogenesis\sgenroms' -metalabel '(Sega 32X)' -shortmetalabel S3
