FileReference.GetFileInSequence
Returns the resolved path of the specified file in the file
sequence.
A file sequence is a set of multiple files with the same base name,
such as 'myfile.1.pic', 'myfile.2.pic', etc. For example, when
rendering to disk, Softimage creates file sequences based on a base
filename that you provide in the Render Options property page and
when browsing the output folder, Softimage displays file sequences
as a single entity with an annotation like:
'myfile.[1..2].pic'.
String FileReference.GetFileInSequence( UInt32 in_iIndex ); |
oString = FileReference.GetFileInSequence( Index ); |
String The resolved path of a specific file in the file sequence. If the file is not a sequence, the index 0 will return the resolved path, else if the index is greater than 0 an error is returned. If the index is out of bound, the path returned is empty and an error is returned.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Index | Long | Indicates the position of the file in the file sequence. Even though file sequences start at '1', this index is zero-based, so if you want 'myoutput.24.pic', you need to specify '23' for this argument. Note: If the index is equal to or greater than the number of files in the sequence, an error is returned |

// SETUP
//
// First import a model so we have some external files to find
var FPath = XSIUtils.BuildPath(
Application.InstallationPath( siFactoryPath ),
"Data", "XSI_SAMPLES", "Models", "Man_Face.emdl"

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// USING THE FileReference OBJECT
//
// Get the collection of all external files on the scene
var oScene = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene;
var l_extFileList = oScene.ExternalFiles;
// Get the first file object in the list
var oFile = l_extFileList(0);
if ( l_extFileList.NumberOfFilesInSequence > 1 ) {
// Show the last file in the sequence
Application.LogMessage( oFile.GetFileInSequence(oFile.NumberOfFilesInSequence-1) );
}
// Expected results:
//INFO : <factory_path>\rsrc\noIcon3.pic
