Numbered images to defined date format

[slips111]

I've got 1440 image files numbered consecutively from 0001.jpg to 1440.jpg. I'd like to rename them to a consecutive date format, starting with 08-07-2018.jpg (US format) and going to 07-16-2022.jpg (1440 days later). Is this possible? Thanks in advance for your help.

Oh, thinking it should not be an issue for JavaScript.

So if you take 07-16-2022 & convert that to a julian number, 2459777, then simply decrement that number by 1, that will give you your consecutive days. Convert those numbers back to a date format & you're done .

The hard part is in the details (& that is beyond me) .



(Oops. I'd meant to "take" the starting date & increment... but if you take the ending date & decrement, that should work too.)

Thanks for the response. I hadn't thought about the Julian numbers. Smart. Anyone else have any idea of how to actually get this converted to the standard date format?

([Paid version of BRU] can do JavaScript.)

Code: Select all


0010 REM "img2jul"   therube 07-31-2018
0020 LET I=2458338; REM 2459777
0030 FOR J=1 TO 1440
0040 CALL "jul2day",STR(I),"2",DT$,"","",""
0050 PRINT I,":   ",DT$
0060 LET I=I+1
0070 NEXT J
0080 END

Now, JavaScript-ifty it & you're done
