Sequencer Tool :: April 03, 2009
I've just added Sequencer; it's a little web tool which acts much like a sequential search and replace. It takes a mask (template) and inserts each line from a sequence into that mask. It's much easier to show an example than try to explain it.
Mask:
user{{#}} is stored in /users/{{X}}/
Sequence:
sunny
john
donald
Given the above, sequencer will output:
user1 is stored in /users/sunny/
user2 is stored in /users/john/
user3 is stored in /users/donald/
While this is very similar to my Line Processor tool, it swaps the focus from the list to the mask and allows for a large mask.
Here's another example which highlights the strength of the Sequencer tool (from a recent web registration form I built):
Mask:
Guest {{X}}: [guest{{X}}_name]
Phone: [guest{{X}}_phone]
Email: [guest{{X}}_email]
Special: [guest{{X}}_special_needs]
Sequence:
1
2
3
4
5
This could easily be edited manually, but my actual mask is much larger and I wanted a handy way of dealing with a potentially gigantic sequence.
Anyway, I hope someone finds it useful.
