1. make folders ./xml and ./pages
2. copy the jpegs to the "./pages/param2" folder
3. Read a directory of jpegs (passed as param1)
4. build the xml file listing the files SORTED!
(eg <page src="file1" preload="true"></page>
<page src="file2" preload="true"></page>...
<page src="file10" preload="false"></page>)
5. only set preload=true for the first X pages
6. package ./pages and ./xml into a tar then transfer it to my web server
Some of the jpegs whose filenames need to be used in the xml file, have names like:
PrefixIndex.jpg
eg, where BRISGUIDE_JAN08 is the Prefix:
So to get it to sort properly in the xml file(eg 2.jpg comes after 1.jpg, not after 10.jpg), i was pulling the BRISGUIDE_JAN08 off and using sort -n to arrange them by their Index.
but then I end up with a file called .jpg cause the first file doesn't have an index...
so i thought I'd add a 0 to the start of the file. This is fine, a little ugly but the question is:
maybe there is a way to get the sort command to sort a list like:
I guess I could just add the prefix back on to the file after I've written the xml file in numeric order....
PLUS I can't get the counting variables working for the preload up to X working.
Is there an alternative to environment variables for counting in shell scripts?
Maybe this would be better in a different shell? CSH?
Thanks!
Code:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -ne 3 ]; then
echo;
echo Usage: $0 source_jpegs_folder name [prefix_to_remove]
