it occurs to me this would be an opportunity to learn Lua (Lightroom's

I wonder if opening a terminal window and using the "ls -a -l [pathname]"

sort of … that would print lots of extra info, wouldn't put the path on
each line, and wouldn't recurse into the subdirectories; there are
switches to "ls" that would be more appropriate, but the "find" command
in the string i offered Larry is a natural choice, as it's designed for
processing lists of files; i set it up to return the path and filename
only — i was assuming Larry wanted the path as a hint to where the
sequence was broken (if he wanted only the sequence gaps, that could be
done too)
yes, you could send ls's or find's output to a text file instead of
through sort & awk — TextWrangler is a free editor on Mac that is very
powerful for that kind of thing; it will do diffs and regular expressions
my mention of Lua was genuine curiosity, but also an attempt to bring it
somewhat back on topic — Lua is the scripting language built-into
Lightroom; Larry's original request was how to find gaps in the sequence
within Lightroom, and i'm sure it could be done
I remembered the "ls" command from a Unix System V class I took many
years ago. I'm much less familiar with the "ls" command, particularly
which switches do the things I do with "DIR" in a WinDOS command prompt,
than I am with using DIR.
