Thanks. Yeah, I know, but I don't think there's any other way than this one. if you really want to take your time, I would like to show you in detail what it's all about - maybe you'll find a better way. of course i would be willing to pay for a working solution as well....

ok perfect - so far so good. but how do i get autoit to select a specific file with the mouse and drag&drop it into a google chrome window? i simply can't find a command that fits this function.

hey, thank you for your reply small correction to your post: the excel file does not contain folders but excerpts from the file name. The file itself is called "0014-001 Testfile.png" and the excel file only contains "0014-001". The script should only edit the 50 files listed in the excel file (i.e. drag&drop them into a google chrome window). The remaining files remain untouched. Then the Excel file will be filled again and the script will be executed again. big thanks for your support!

hey JLogan3o13, thank you for your answer. Please don't misunderstand my request - I've already finished a part of my script that works exclusively based on mouse actions and Excel. As I said, I have very little programming knowledge, so I have a hard time with this task and I understand the help only partly... nevertheless for the time being many thanks for the tips, i will try to familiarize myself here and see how far i can get. Can I use the function WinAPI_FindFirstFileName achieve something? Thank you for the time being. Greez Lucky_luke

Hey Guys, first of all: i'm sorry, i'm not a programmer and i'm quite new to this topic, please excuse me for asking stupid questions. I would like to automate the following scenario with autoit: Initial situation: a file collection with more than 30.000 files is in one folder. All files are numbered - example: "0014-01 this is a Testfile.png" to "0014-128 this is another Testfile.png" and "0015-01 this is another Testfile.png" to "0015-39 this is another Testfile.png" and so on... An individual selection of 50 files can be found in an Excel list - in the first column there is the number of the file, for example "0014-01" or "0015-39" and so on... Desired scenario: Autoit should automatically select the correct file based on the number and drag&drop it to an opened Google Chrome window and (after further steps) delete the row in the Excel table and continue with the next one. Unfortunately I couldn't find a reasonable way to do this yet, but I'm sure that you can automate it somehow. Thank you very much in advance for your support!
