I suspect I'm going to have to write a utility to do this for me but there *might* be something to do it for me.
I want to spot files missing from a sequence, e.g. if I see:-
dscf1253.jpg dscf1254.jpg dscf1256.jpg dscf1257.jpg dscf1258.jpg dscf1259.jpgI want to be told that dscf1255.jpg is missing.
Very simple starter for bash...
for file in $(seq -f "dscf%0.f.jpg" 1253 1259); do if (! ls "$file" >/dev/null 2>&1 ); then echo "Missing $file" fi done
Obviously, with a minimal amount more work you could make that better, but that's one just off the tips of my fingers.
