Formatting Reference

PySeq sequences can be rendered with format directives in both Python and the CLI tools.

Directives

Directive	Meaning
%s	sequence start
%e	sequence end
%l	sequence length
%f	list of found files
%m	list of missing files
%M	explicit missing files [11-14,19-21]
%p	padding, e.g. %06d
%r	implied range, start-end
%R	explicit broken range, [1-10, 15-20]
%d	disk usage
%H	disk usage (human readable)
%D	parent directory
%h	string preceding sequence number
%t	string after the sequence number

CLI Examples

$ lss tests/files/a*.tga -f "%h%r%t"
a.1-14.tga

$ lss tests/files/a*.tga -f "%l %h%r%t"
7 a.1-14.tga

$ lss tests/files/a*.tga -f "%l %h%r%t %M"
7 a.1-14.tga [4-9, 11]

Python Examples

import pyseq

seq = pyseq.get_sequences("tests/files/a*.tga")[0]

print(seq.format("%h%r%t"))
print(seq.format("%l %h%r%t"))
print(seq.format("%l %h%r%t %M"))

Expected output:

a.1-14.tga
7 a.1-14.tga
7 a.1-14.tga [4-9, 11]
