Generate VLC playlist via BASH

Any one done something like this? Generate a VLC playlist via BASH.

As things are processed for various tasks I would like to generate a playlist for VLC so that I can sort of automate some things for playback..

Is there something that outlines the format or something than can be used to generate this?

using vlc thisshow.mkv someothershow.mkv etc.. is not what I am after... I would like to pass vlc someplaylist.txt or what ever it wants....

BASH or even PHP is fine too....

Plain Kubuntu based distro 12.04... if that makes a difference...

Generate the playlist pass it to vlc via command like option and go from there....searches all point the steps on creating it via the GUI... or controlling vlc via the remote interface which I already have means to do that.

My process may generate something like this....

thurs10_24_13_shows.txt
fri10_25_13_shows.txt

etc...

Thanks.
