Hello list, I want to make a script which builds static html pages from a directory of images. 8 images per page. Using tables. I was thinking that making the import and convert part, in a separate script, using gphoto2 and Image Magick respectively. The current script works with a template that is only the table row (<tr> </tr>) definition. *script* for one in *.JPG; do sed s/image/$one/g gallery.tmplt >> gallery.html done *template* <tr> <a href="image"> <img src="small_image" alt="image"/></a> </tr> What this yields is a page full of the name of the image as a link to the large image. I assume this behavior with the "alt" field being shown is because there is an underscore in the "img src" field. So I would like to correct a few things: + have the template transcription stop at 8 images, to start a new page. + have the sed command able to interpret a template with multiple image locations, so that I can have an entire web-page as a template and not just the table row section (see below for clarification). + have the underscore behavior changed--- although I had this working so this problem is minor. :clarification: The idea of the loop occurred to me because I have a list of images "----for one in *.JPG; do--------" from which I want to pluck images. "--------sed s/image/$one/ gallery.tmplt >> gallery.html---" So that when the script encounters the word (regex) it then replaces it with the next in the list. Where I have the difficulty is when I have multiple "image" instances in the page. I think I may be able to get the desired behavior with another loop, which increments "n", something like this; ------n=0 ------n=n+1 ------sed /n/s/image/$one/ gallery.tmplt >> gallery.html Because I would like to replace all occurrences on a line with the current image. This would be useful for me to understand because I think I could implement the same simple technique to count the images per page.
