Prepares and presents them tasty links just the way you like
This file is saved in the \docs subdirectory of the Sequential Links Rustler repository on GitHub.
Other files have been saved within subdirectories of \docs to demonstrate Sequential Links Rustler in action.
When a website’s numeric values include leading zeros, just include those zeros in your sequence definition.
| sequence_definition | produces sequence |
|---|---|
| {01-05} | 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 |
| {000-004} | 000, 001, 002, 003, 004 |
Within the sequence definition, make Start the larger and Stop the smaller value.
| sequence_definition | produces sequence |
|---|---|
| {5-0} | 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 |
| {15-13} | 15, 14, 13 |
Between the Stop value and the closing curly bracket, insert a semi-colon and an integer representing the distance between consecutive values.
| sequence definition | set of values produced |
|---|---|
| {0-9;2} | 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 |
| {0-9;3} | 0, 3, 6, 9 |
Custom intervals can be combined with declining values:
| sequence definition | set of values produced |
|---|---|
| {9-0;2} | 9, 7, 5, 3, 1 |
| {9-0;3} | 9, 6, 3, 0 |
Given the (partial) URL_mask, foo{001-002}/bar{12-9;3}/pic{0-10;5}.jpg
Sequential Links Rustler would produce the following sequence of (partial) links. (Blank lines added to make it easier to see the sequence patterns.)
foo001/bar12/pic0.jpeg
foo001/bar12/pic5.jpeg
foo001/bar12/pic10.jpeg
foo001/bar9/pic0.jpeg
foo001/bar9/pic5.jpeg
foo001/bar9/pic10.jpeg
foo002/bar12/pic0.jpeg
foo002/bar12/pic5.jpeg
foo002/bar12/pic10.jpeg
foo002/bar9/pic0.jpeg
foo002/bar9/pic5.jpeg
foo002/bar9/pic10.jpeg
Note: The above example combines zero-padded foo values, bar values which decline by 3, and pic values which ascend by 5.
