seqrm

seqrm removes (deletes) a sequence of files for a specified frame range. This is useful for cleaning up intermediate or unwanted files in VFX/animation workflows.

Usage

seqrm PATTERN [FRAMES]
  • PATTERN: Filename pattern (e.g., temp.####.exr).
  • FRAMES: Frame range or sequence expression (e.g., -f 1001-1020).

Options

  • --dry-run, -n: Show what would be deleted, but do not actually remove files.
  • --interactive, -i: Request confirmation before deleting each file.
  • --verbose, -v: Show detailed output for each file.
  • --strict: Stop on the first error.
  • --version: Show version and exit.

Examples

Remove a sequence of files:

seqrm temp.####.exr -f 1001-1020

Preview what would be deleted (dry run):

seqrm -n temp.####.exr -f 1-3

Interactively remove files, prompting for each copy:

seqrm -i askfile.####.exr confirmfile.####.exr -f 10-20
