Multi Incrementing

Roy Six edited this page Mar 7, 2022 · 2 revisions

Multi lets you increment up to 3 parts of the URL individually, simultaneously, or in ranges. You can even increment the same selection in multiple ways (for example, different intervals)! Select the part as normal and optionally adjust the interval or base, then click the Multi +++ button near Selection. Repeat for each additional part, then click ACCEPT. You'll then see a new set of color-coded Increment Decrement buttons allowing you to increment just that one part or simultaneously increment all parts.

Note: You can always reset the multi parts by just clicking on the +++ button again (after three parts have been selected).

Here are some of the neat things you can do with Multi:

Multi Selections (Does not apply to Infy Scroll)

This is the most common use for multi. Select the different parts in the URL to increment and you will have a set of + - buttons for each selection. Each pair of buttons will be labeled by a 1, 2, or 3 depending on the order of your selections.

Multi Intervals (Does not apply to Infy Scroll)

Select the same part multiple times, but change the interval each time before clicking the +++ button. This will let you have multiple buttons that can increment/decrement the selection by different amounts (e.g. a +1 Button, a +10 Button, and a +100 button)!

Multi-Simultaneous Incrementing

This will increment all the parts of the URL simultaneously. A pair of S labeled Increment Decrement buttons will appear allowing you to simultaneously increment all the parts together in one click (the S labeled buttons do not apply to Infy Scroll; the Down and Up buttons will assume you are doing a simultaneous increment).

Multi-Simultaneous Incrementing Example

URL: https://www.example.com/1/1/1

If you start on the above URL and selected all three 1s to increment, the next page will go to https://www.example.com/2/2/2.

Multi-Range Incrementing

The most complicated multi function allows you to edit the URL and enter ranges for each selection. This performs a "compounded" increment for each part. This also works with AUTO.

Multi-Range Incrementing Example

URL: https://www.example.com/1/1/1

Say you want to increment all three of the 1s in the above URL in different ranges (2, 3, 4 from left to right). First, you would edit the URL to be:

https://www.example.com/[1-2]/[1-3]/[1-4]

Note that the format is [selection-times] (using [] bracket characters). This way you can even use this with non-number objects like dates and custom bases. For example, a date could be edited to be [12/25/2018-7] and would start at 12/25 and go all the way to 12/31 (a total of 7 days).

Next, you would highlight and select each part fully (e.g. [1-2]) and click on the +++ button one by one. Note that you must finish all your edits to the URL and then start to click the +++ button to do your selections (do not edit, click, edit, click ...). Note also that your selections' order matters. You usually want to select them in left-to-right order. This will perform a compounded increment, such that it starts from 1/1/1, and goes to 1/1/2, 1/1/3, 1/1/4, 1/2/1, ... and finally ends at 2/3/4, performing 2 * 3 * 4 = 24 total increments:

1/1/1 1/1/2 1/1/3 1/1/4

1/2/1 1/2/2 1/2/3 1/2/4

1/3/1 1/3/2 1/3/3 1/3/4

2/1/1 2/1/2 2/1/3 2/1/4

2/2/1 2/2/2 2/2/3 2/2/4

2/3/1 2/3/2 2/3/3 2/3/4

Multi + Auto

You can use Multi Incrementing with AUTO as well. It will either do a multi-simultaneous increment or a multi-range increment (if you edited the URL to have ranges).
