How do I repeat download until success?

More specific: this is what I trying to acheive:

for x in $(find . -name "*.txt"); do youtube-dl --batch-file "$x" -o "$(echo $x | sed -e s,.txt,,)/%(playlist)s - %(id)s.%(ext)s" --match-title ^%(playlist)s$; done

Notice: --match-title ^%(playlist)s$

youtube-dl "ytsearch:Afgin - Old is Gold" --match-title ^"Afgin - Old is Gold"$ --ignore-errors # will give up after one try, how do I make it continue with next hit

ytsearch: just returns the top video result. Use ytsearch10:, ytsearch42: (or any other number), or ytsearchall:, although the latter can result in an excessive number of results.
