Subject: Odd & Even Pages
From: Christopher MJ Tangora <email@hidden>

I am starting in applescript and have ran into a problem.

I am moding the OS X applescript to rename files, but I want to add
page numbers to it. Even more specifically I am wanting to add only
even or odd page numbers. From what I have seen I will have to put in
the actual replacements manually, as in 1 = 2, 2 = 4, 3 = 6, etc. for
the evens, and just 1=2, 2=3, 3=5, etc for the odds. What I am hoping
is that someone knows a way to allow the script to only write odd or
even numbers. I haven't seen it in any of the archives or list i have
looked up.

Here's an easy way to generate an odd or even series:

set theButton to button returned of (display dialog "Which number series do you want" buttons {"Odd", "Even"})
if theButton is "Odd" then
set startNbr to -1
else
set startNbr to 0
end if
repeat 100 times
set startNbr to startNbr + 2
log startNbr
end repeat
