Small utility functions to help parsing sequences of image files. See the README for more infos.

SequenceParsing

Definition:

Pattern: A file name, absolute or not, which is composed of symbols (variable) which can take several values.

#Supported variables:

• %d : indicates that any number should be present instead of the variable. This option works like printf like arguments, e.g: %04d, which indicates you want the variable to match only numbers with 4 prepending zeroes.

• ### : Same as %d but the number of "#" character indicates how many digits the number should be.

• %v: indicates that a short view name should be present instead of the variable. This means either "l" for the left view and "r" for the right view.

• %V: Same as %v but for long view names, i.e: "right" and "left"

This repository aims to help solving 3 problems:

1. Given a file name, search within the same directory for all other files that matches the same "pattern".

2. Given a "pattern" generate file names for a given frame number and view.

3. Given a files list, tries to group files under similar patterns.
