I have this bit of xml
<IMAGE>
<NAME>image1.jpg</NAME>
<CAPTION>Image 1</CAPTION>
</IMAGE>

I want to swap out the image1.jpg and Image 1 to ++ increasing strings of image2.jpg Image 2 like
<IMAGE>
<NAME>image1.jpg</NAME>
<CAPTION>Image 1</CAPTION>
</IMAGE>
<IMAGE>
<NAME>image2.jpg</NAME>
<CAPTION>Image 2</CAPTION>
</IMAGE>

I have a LONG list I need to make and just wonder if there is a tool that can do this.

please and thankyou

I don't know why I decided to do this in PHP, but it'll be basically the same in pretty much any programming/scripting language:

Code:
$numImages = x; #where x is however many images you have

for ($i = 1; $i <= $numImages; $i++) {
  echo "<IMAGE>\n";
  echo "<NAME>image$i.jpg</NAME>\n";
  echo "<CAPTION>Image $i</CAPTION>\n";
  echo "</IMAGE>\n";
}

[php]
to generateImageSnippet(imageNumber)

set xmlFragment to "<IMAGE>
<NAME>image" & imageNumber & ".jpg</NAME>
<CAPTION>Image " & imageNumber & "</CAPTION>
</IMAGE>
"

return xmlFragment
end generateImageSnippet



on run
set xmlList to ""
set numberIndex to 1
repeat while numberIndex is less than or equal to 100
set xmlList to xmlList & my generateImageSnippet(numberIndex)
set numberIndex to numberIndex + 1
end repeat
log xmlList
end run
[/php]
