url generation help, odd question

Unity

Member
hi all,

odd question. i hope i can somehow make this question make sense.
if i was creating a website and needing to somehow with ANY PROGRAM or ANYTHING, generate a list like this automatically:
i need to somehow make a link like http://example.example.net/carbon001.jpg
and then generate a list with http://example.example.net/carbon002.jpg to lets say /carbon150.jpg
so i would have a list of the url: http://example.example.net/carbon001.jpg to http://example.example.net/carbon150.jpg. (all #'s inbetween).

Does this make any sense? =/

I cant figure out a way to do this without cut/paste and writing all the #'s after this. And with the amount i need to have the text of it would take forever.

Any information would be helpful. Sorry for the bad wording.

You can use JAVA or PERL or any scripting language to do this. If you don't want to do programming I suggest you use EXCEL. Enter the data in a spreadsheet as follows
ROW1 | ROW2 | ROW3
http://example.example.net/carbon | 001 | .jpg
http://example.example.net/carbon | 002 | .jpg
http://example.example.net/carbon | 003 | .jpg

now highlight ROW 2 and move your cursor to the bottom right hand corner of "003" it should become a cross. Drag down the cross and it will automatically increment the numbers. You can do the same for the other 2 rows and it will duplicate the line. After you complete all this just copy and paste into a text editor or save it as a text file. Hope this helps.
