If you are referring to the tape volumename, a convenient way of
extracting volumenames can be to run a database query.

Eg.

    SELECT 
        m.mediaid, m.volumename, m.slot, m.poolid, p.name AS pool
    FROM
        media m, pool p
    WHERE 
        m.poolid = p.poolid
    ORDER BY 
        m.poolid, m.mediaid;

Another way is to run a set of bconsole commands as a heredoc:

    bconsole << EOF
        list media poolid=6
    EOF

(I'm not sure of the syntax of the second example -- please check).
