how to select "every other" file in a folder - GoFuckYourself.com

Morgan · 03-31-2005, 10:25 PM

Say you have a folder with 3,000 pictures in it and every 2 pictures are the same. The filenames are all in order, but i need to select "every other" file in the folder somehow.

example of filenames:

basically, sierra050 and sierra051 are identical.

there are about 3k files which are really only 1500 files. How can i "select every other" freaking file?

can't remember for the life of me exactly how but there should be a command line way of setting up a template where you could select all the even ending or odd ending numbers in the filename sequence if that triggers anything for anyone

SmokeyTheBear · 03-31-2005, 11:03 PM

if they are exactly the same why are they different sizes ? Thats gonna be hard to tell

SmokeyTheBear · 03-31-2005, 11:07 PM

you could always show icons and make the explorer window 2 icons wide

CoreAdult-Dee · 03-31-2005, 11:08 PM

by the time you find a program that will do it for you, you could have just done it manually.

SmokeyTheBear · 03-31-2005, 11:11 PM

That's what I was thinking too. Then just select one column and delete.

Jim_Gunn · 03-31-2005, 11:12 PM

I have one suggestion. This particular shareware program has a button that lets you auto-select every other image from a list of images that it would normally download from a web page. Maybe if you made a local html page containing links to all the files, let it select every other one and then "download" them to another folder. Think that should work in just a few steps. http://picturedownloader.mihov.com/

SmokeyTheBear · 03-31-2005, 11:12 PM

do you understand ganja

it was the weed that made me figure that out. pretty simple eh.

Chio The Pirate · 03-31-2005, 11:13 PM

YARGH!!! Sorry it didn't work.

you're brilliant. that just may work.

they are exactly the same pics but diff sizes possibly cuz the program must have captured 2 pictures every "x" amount of seconds... i cant tell with the naked eye.
