Introduction

Clique is a library for managing collections that have a common numerical component.

A numerical component is any series of numbers in an item. The item sc010_020_v001.0005.dpx has four possible numerical components (bolded):

  • sc010_020_v001.0005.dpx
  • sc010_020_v001.0005.dpx
  • sc010_020_v001.0005.dpx
  • sc010_020_v001.0005.dpx

A common use would be to determine sequences of files on disk. For example, given the following input:

  • file.0001.dpx
  • file.0002.dpx
  • file.0001.jpg
  • file.0002.jpg

Clique can automatically assemble two collections:

  • file.[index].dpx
  • file.[index].jpg

where [index] is the commonly changing numerical component.
