Odd and even file names
Hello,

I want to sort/identify 600 files according to odd or even numbers in the files names. How can I do this?

The goal is to perform different ImageMagick operations based on even or odd numbers in the file names. The file names have this pattern: bdf0001.tif, bdf0044.tif and bdf0136.tif

I have all the ImageMagick code together but don't know how to recognise or sort the files according to odd or even file names. The sorting can be part of the ImageMagick script or I can alternatively separate these steps: first sort the files and move them to different directories. Then do the image processing part and put the files back together manually.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated,
Gargan
