note chipmunk I plead innocent on both counts. <p> I wrote the program so it would work for any incrementing filenames, such as: <ul> <li>bar0.jpg, bar1.jpg, ..., bar50.jpg <li>bar000.jpg, bar001.jpg, ..., bar050.jpg <li>or even: barA.jpg, barB.jpg, ..., barZ.jpg <br>(although that one's just a fortunate coincidence of using the range operator :) </ul> I guess that may not be what [sharle] intended, but it makes the program so much more useful! <p> As for the other parts of the filename, those are the first and second arguments to the program. <p> P.S. Heh, yours <i>is</i> a program. Very sneaky of you! :) 82434 82462
