Update JSON object numbers in ascending order in sequence - json

Question

I am having problem with my NFT JSON files. Because of lack of facilities I have generated my 10k NFT collection as 10*1000, now I have ten collections (each 1000) instead of a single collection (of 10000). The JSON objects of each collection are numbered from 1-1000. But I want to copy all JSON objects into a single file and update their "edition" numbers in sequence from 1-10000.
Thanks in advance.
Here is the NFT metadata code.

Answer 1

You coud, for instance, use php where you have to read each file, append it to an array, edit the array then dump it to a file:
simple php code to deal with json
$arr = [];
//scroll trough files (you can use libraries to better do this)
for($i=0; $i<100; ++i)
array_push($arr, json_decode(file_get_contents("file$i.json"),true) );
//here $arr contains all the 100 jsons, you can access it as a normal associative array and you can
//do your stuff
$arr[100]['esition'] = 'my_edition';
//dump the associative array as to a single file formatted as json
file_put_contents("outfile.json",json_encode($arr));

Found the solution through the HashLips art engine's main.js settings. If you want to generate your nft collection not in one step, but rather in many steps, for example 10*1000 instead of 10000. Make these on the HashLips Art Engine's main.js file's this part. In the third and seventh lines of this code replace 1 with starting number you want to start generating from.
Here you can see I have replaced the 1s with 1001, so generation starts from 1001, not 1.
let layerConfigIndex = 0;
let editionCount = 1001;
let failedCount = 0;
let abstractedIndexes = [];
for (
let i = network == NETWORK.sol ? 0 : 1001;
i <= layerConfigurations[layerConfigurations.length - 1].growEditionSizeTo;
i++
) {
abstractedIndexes.push(i);
}```
