FileReference.NumberOfFilesInSequence

Returns the number of files that this sequence of file contains as a Long. If the sequence consists of only one file, this property will return 1.

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'.

C# Syntax

// get accessor

UInt32 rtn = FileReference.NumberOfFilesInSequence;

Examples

JScript Example

NewScene( null, false );

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

// 	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"

);

ImportModel( FPath, null, true );

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

// 	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);

// Show the number of files.

Application.LogMessage( "The number of files is: " + oFile.NumberOfFilesInSequence );

// Expected results:

//INFO : The number of files is: 3
