Ordinal Salvation

For any newbies out there who didn’t know ordinals are valid…

So I had a bunch of photoshoots this weekend and the last girl I delivered a CD to moved the files to her computer instead of browsing the disc. So when she called with numbers that didn’t line up with the filenames the quickest thing I could think of was to write a script (first one I’ve ever written while on the phone!)

I opened the CD partition and wrote a quick script that essentially said “set x to the 32nd file of window 1” (not even being sure if it would work!). Then the 79th, the 132nd, etc. Worked like a charm and got a hiRes CD out the door.

The moral: Sometimes the most obvious answer is the correct one.

Have fun,

Valuable enough, Jim, to go in Code Exchange. Thanks.
