We need a script to allow the sorting of images by file name before linking them to Embark was taking longer that anticipated and that I thought it could be automated. What I would hope to have is a program that does the following. Allow me to specify a folder where the images to be sorted are located on the cantor-xserve. Then the program would check the first 5-characters of the each image file name and the last 3 characters of the file name. Finally, based of the first 5 and the last 3 characters the program would move the files to the appropriate folder also on the Cantor X-serve. Most of our file names are quite consistent but there are a few inconsistent file names due to old accession numbers that would have to be accounted for; I could explain there in detail to the programer. Here are some examples of the consistent file names and what the program would do. Example 1 File name: [url removed, login to view] Folder where it should go: cantor-xserve/Cantor Annex/Images/1985 Example 2 File name [url removed, login to view] Folder where it should go: cantor-xserve/Cantor Annex/Images/JLS.1000-1999/JLS.1000-1999_pub_images Example 3 File name [url removed, login to view] Folder where it should go: cantor-xserve/Cantor Annex/Images/1944/1944_source_images
