elliott-brennan Hi all,
elliott-brennan Now, I know I've asked a similar questions, but I
elliott-brennan thought that I'd ask again with what may be a clearer
elliott-brennan request :) For example:
elliott-brennan I have a collection of images labelled -
elliott-brennan a_0001.jpeg through to A0999.jpeg b_0001.jpeg through
elliott-brennan to A0999.jpeg c_0001.jpeg through to A0999.jpeg
elliott-brennan d_0001.jpeg through to A0999.jpeg
elliott-brennan I want to merge them as follows:
elliott-brennan montage -geometry +4+4 a_0001.jpeg b_0001.jpeg
elliott-brennan c_0001.jpeg d_0001.jpeg montage1.jpeg
elliott-brennan the output file is montagenumber.jpeg and needs to
elliott-brennan be a sequentially increasing number.
You need to do it one number at a time.
for i in `seq -f '%04.f' 1 999`
do
montage -geometry +4+4 {a,b,c,d}_$i.jpeg montage$i.jpeg
done
I'm not sure about the best way to do the _ to A series though.
A simplish way would be:
for file in a*
do
num=`expr $file : a\(.*\)\.jpeg`
montage -geometry +4+4 {a,b,c,d}$num.jpeg montage$num.jpeg
done
but this preserves the _-A sequence, so you'll end up with
montage_0001.jpeg through to montageA999.jpeg.
If you want to replace the _-A with 0-whatever you need a tr line in
there:
for file in a*
do
num=`expr $file : a\(.*\)\.jpeg`
outnum=`echo $num | tr '_A' '01'`
montage -geometry +4+4 {a,b,c,d}$num.jpeg montage$outnum.jpeg
done
Use your collating sequence, as I don't know what it is ('_' comes
after 'A' in ASCII).

Re: [SLUG] looking for a command to automatically create sequentially numbered files
Hi Rick, On the basis that this is quite likely something simple that I'm not doing, or the consequence of something I haven't explained clearly enough (as I've very little experience with such things) - These are the files I'm working with: four sets of 124 images each: a_01.jpeg to a_000125.jpeg b_01.jpeg to b_000125.jpeg c_01.jpeg to c_000125.jpeg d_01.jpeg to d_000125.jpeg I've entered the command: $ for i in 'seq 1 999'; do j='printf %04d $i'; montage -geometry +4+4 a_$j.jpeg b_$j.jpeg c_$j.jpeg d_$j.jpeg montage$j.jpeg; done and receive the response: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do' (I've cut-and-pasted the information for accuracy) I've also tried changing: 'seq 1 999' to 'seq 1 125' with no success and tried changing: do j='printf %04d to do j='printf %06d again with no success. I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind having another look at this for me? Thanks again and much appreciated.
