URLToys Tutorial #2: Understanding The Site (Continued)
Nasty Sequential Images ... AKA "Fusking"
I'll present you with yet another version of our beloved images:
http://urltoys.gotdoofed.com/tut2pics/fusk.html
These go from "image2001" to "image2016". If we tried to zeq these, we'd come up with over 2000 URLs, which we don't want. This is where the fusker command comes in.
Fusker is a utility originally created by Cartag Tuek. There is a current implementation of it running on fusker.com, but there is also a version of it built-in to URLToys (courtesy of Saint Marck, the owner of SE). The way it works is simple ... you add brackets to the URL where you want a range of something to be, and then give it to the fusker command. For example, we want:
http://urltoys.gotdoofed.com/tut2pics/image2001.jpg
through
http://urltoys.gotdoofed.com/tut2pics/image2016.jpg
So we'd write the command like this:
fusker http://urltoys.gotdoofed.com/tut2pics/image20[01-16].jpg
If you type that at a URLToys prompt, it'll find all bracketed areas and come up with what you expect (the 16 proper URLs).
You can use this multiple times in a URL as well, such as "[2-3][4-5]" to come up with 24,25,34, and 35. The fusker command provides all of the functionality of seq and zeq, the only difference is that if you can use one of those, it doesn't require retyping or changing the URL. It's just a copy and paste away.
Try not to get locked in when using URLToys by only using make and keep/del commands. Sometimes a quick glance over the material might save you a bunch of time.
This is the end of the second tutorial. Please check the FAQ for any other questions, and check back for a future "Advanced Tutorial".
