How animate dated filename like "history20070611s202635195.jpg"

[Fabrizio]

My web cam save a file each minute with a name like this
"history20070611s202635195.jpg"
Do you know a script that can animate the last 60 jpg ? What I like
is something like this:

http://lacombe.dyndns.org/meteo/cam.html

The problem is that this script work only with sequential file name
like "picture001", "picture002", etc and not with dated filename like
"history20070611s202635195.jpg"

Thank you in advance for your help.

The camera save 1 image every 1 minute.
"history20050101093020500.jpg" = "9h30min20s500ms on January 1, 2005".
The letter "s" is inserted after
the day when referring to a summer time zone.
Thanks for your help.

"history20050101093020500.jpg" = "9h30min20s500ms on January 1, 2005".

I think there will be problem to get oldest "shoted" picture. Try to
change image format a little bit (remove milliseconds and seconds)

Then get current time like: 10h 30min (date is easy too) - last
picture

Then you have to get oldest: last - 60min = 9h 30min

Now you can use some loops to pseudo animate pictures and setInterval
to reset time to get every minute last picture and oldest.

I started to write script, but i have too much work so dont know when
i will finish it.

The name is generated by the webcam. I can't change nothing :( I can
only change the text before the date ("history"). Like I tell i know
nothing in programming but is possible to use the creation date of the
file to select the last hour / last day photos ? Someone on php groups
write this:

"The number following the 's' represents the time, I assume?
(HHMMSSmmm) ?
You could put them in an array and sort that using string comparison
or by extracting the time string and casting it to integers and sort
those. Or just sort them based on their maketime perhaps? Then feed
the
sorted pics to your image rotation function"

I not say if it can help you ? Actually the webcam every 10 minutes
make and upload by ftp one image on a directory on my Apache server.
It will be nice to have one animation with the last 6 images (1 hour)
and one with the last 144 images (1 day).

I started to write script, but i have too much work so dont know when
i will finish it.

Is absolutely not urgent :) Next 24 June I leave for one month. For me
is so fantastic if i can have this animation that the time of the
realization is absolutely not important :)

Thank you again.
