specify file containing usernames for downloading

[matt1544]

Would it possible to specify a file which contains usernames for download?

I know that I can specify multiple "--user XYZ" within one command, but it may be preferable to have the usernames in a separate text file, and instead run "--user ~/Reddit/users.txt".

I can probably figure out some for loop to do this, but wondered if it'd be possible from within bdfr instead?

Thanks!

(PS I suppose this request could also apply to "--subreddit" but that isn't the use case I was thinking of at the moment.)

There isn't a specific option for doing it but it's pretty easy to do through the command line.

cat names.txt | xargs -L 1 echo '--user' | xargs -L X python3 -m bdfr ...

Just replace X with a number that works for you. If you have a reasonable number of names, you can remove the -L X, otherwise your shell might error out since there's a character limit for commands.
