Dear Ferret Users,
I output GIF files in the large loop with command REPEAT/L=1,120,
12. So far I failed
to find syntax solution that would output my GIF-frames with L-
count, like frame.001.gif,
frame.002.gif, ...etc.
Naturally, in the standard output the frames are named according to
the Ferret standards
frame.gif
frame.gif.~1~
frame.gif.~2~
....
So, my questions:
1. Is there any way to name output with the current value of loop
variable L in the GIF file name?
2. Are there some UNIX tools for the following transition
first frame frame.gif ==> frame.0001.gif
second frame frame.gif.~1~ ==> frame.0002.gif
....
or something without leading zeros and dots (these are easy to
insert) like
first frame ==> frame.1.gif
second frame ==> frame.2.gif
....
Basically, I need something that counts frame not in a regular order
and substitutes
~n~ in Ferret notation with the direct order frame number
I am aware about Fsort utility, but I'd like to check first about
other tools before I
start my own scripting.
Thank you,
Sergei Maurits
