Within the pattern one can specify a schema for multipage files to indicate page numbers: :$####: is the schema : indicates the start of the schema $ indicates the root, this can be whatever the user specfies, e.g., "MyPages" # indicates the page number or a placeholder : indicates the end of the schema For example, if the pattern string is "_ann.annotationfile.:pg####:" where the schema of the pattern is ":pg####:" The schema would be transformed to: "_ann.annotationfile.pg0001", "_ann.annotationfile.pg0002", "_ann.annotationfile.pg0003"
