Here's one way. (untested Lingo)
Regards,
Daniel
--both of these appear in the same parent script
on getSortedFileList me, fileList
--fileList is a list of the form [aString1.ext, aString10.ext, aString2.ext, ...,
aStringijk.ext]
--returns a sorted, property list version of fileList
sortedFileList = [:]
sortedFileList.sort()
the itemDelimiter = "."
repeat with fileNameString in fileList
aString = fileNameString
if aString.items.count > 1 then delete the last item of aString --delete the file
extension
--if one exists
numberString = EMPTY
repeat while me.isNumber(the last char of aString)
put the last char of aString before numberString
delete the last char of aString
end repeat
sortedFileList.addProp(integer(numberString, fileNameString)
end repeat
return sortedFileList
end getSortedFileList
on isNumber me, aChar
--copyright � 2003 Daniel W. Nelson
--aChar may be an integer. if so, it is considered the ASCII
--value of a character.
if integerP(aChar) then charNum = aChar
else charNum = charToNum(aChar)
return charNum >= 48 and charNum <= 57
end isNumber
