13lack13lade Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hi All, I have an automation PC at work and im thinking of a way for the users to fill out forms which will automatically move the file they are wanting the script to run for to a location (specific folders for specific jobs) and then the automation pc will automatically look for files every x amount of time and then run a particular script depending on what folder has a file in then send me a notification once its complete. How hard is this too accomplish? i can do manipulating between excel files, opening closes programs, moving files, sending CDO etc all with autoit already but im not sure how big of a task it is to set up that entire process or what the pitfalls are etc.. I know some of you will have done something similar to this before so just wanting to try and get a scope on it before i start putting in time trying to create something like this. Perhaps my vision is an end goal and at the moment the users could send me their files and i could just drop them in the specific job folder and have a script look for files then run etc etc like i spoke about above.. Any input would be appreciated! thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted April 15, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2014 It is difficult to give you an idea of the effort involved without more specific information; your OP is pretty vague. How about a specific, step-by-step scenario of what a user would want to accomplish for a task, including the file type you'd be working with?
