Good point , sorry for skimming the specifics,
As much fun as it would doubtless be to try to teach 3d animators perl regex syntax, it's hard enough getting them to consistantly name their files, as you see I have graciously been afforded the '.' as a seperator in filenames. So the final objective is a script that given...

./myscript.pl /nfs/bigdisk/renders/monsterrender.cin.@ 50 920

[download]
the script is then able to run some verification on each file in the sequence, perform a few operations, etc. The mechanics of this I already have working, but of course they're for my use, so I asked the 3d team for their preferred CLI. Which I am now trying to accomodate.


I can't believe it's not psellchecked
