What have you tried so far?

Have you looked in the Helpfile?

1. How to select a folder and then create a notepad, writing all the file names in a column

Look at _FileListToArray to gather the file list.

Look at _FileWriteFromArray to save the file list.

2. Creating a new folder with the same name.

Look at DirCreate to create folders

3. Create new copies of a specific file equal to the number of names in the notepad

Look at FileCopy

4. Renaming each of the files to the file names in the notepad

Should be able to handle this step in the previous step, if not look at FileMove.

So _FileListToArray

($sPath [, $Filter =*= [, $iFlag = 0 ]]) // What does it all mean? ( So does this select any folder or is it only bound to one path? ) And I'd be using $iFlag = 1, right?)

$Filter =*= remain as is?

What to put for $sPath ?

FileWriteFromArray

($File, $a_Array [, $i_Base = 0 [, $i_UBound = 0 [, $s_Delim= "|"]]]) // ( If I have the script in some folder, how do I get the notepad in the same folder )

// $File ( What would a folder in Cdrive/Desktop/ be? and $a_Array should I leave as is or do I need something there? $i_Base = 0 ( from top to bottom? ) $i_UBound = 0 as is?

$s_Delim as is ?

DirCreate

( "path" )

FileCopy

( "source", "dest" [, flag] )

//I need the below?

#include

#include

Read the "HelpFile"

Example of what you can find, in the HelpFile:

_FileListToArray($sPath [, $sFilter = "*" [, $iFlag = 0]])

$sPath = Path to generate filelist for.
$sFilter = [optional] the filter to use, default is *. Search the AutoIt3 helpfile for the word "WildCards" for details.
$iFlag = [optional] specifies whether to return files, folders or both
          $iFlag=0 (Default) Return both files and folders
          $iFlag=1 Return files only
          $iFlag=2 Return Folders only

There's also a nice little example at the bottom of that HelpFile page where you can see how it is used.

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $FileList = _FileListToArray(@DesktopDir)
If @error = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "No Folders Found.")
    Exit
EndIf
If @error = 4 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "No Files Found.")
    Exit
EndIf
_ArrayDisplay($FileList, "$FileList")

Other functions have the same stuff in the HelpFile.

The HelpFile will also note on whether there is a specific "#include" file that is required for it to function.

#include <File.au3>
_FileListToArray($sPath [, $sFilter = "*" [, $iFlag = 0]])

Again, read the HelpFile.
