> i have a cronjob running every morning using the tiffsplit command (from > tifflib on DEC unix) to count the number of files in several 100 multi-page > tiffs that are transferred into our storage. then i count the number of > "xfiles" formed. > problem: i always get a count of 0. however when i run the same cronjob > manually on the exact same files, it splits the files and counts the xfiles > accurately. any ideas why? or is there a more efficient way to figure out > how many files are in a multipage tiff? > TIA, humzah This is the quickest way I've found to count pages, assuming each directory represents a separate page: tiffinfo $FILE 2>/dev/null | fgrep 'TIFF Directory at offset' | wc -l Doug Vander Wilt Honeywell MICRO SWITCH Division dwvander@micro.honeywell.com
