siebentod 0 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Hi! I want to do the script, which will search through files (.md files, does Autoit work with them btw?) in a fixed folder, search for a certain fixed word (or a string, it doesn't matter for my needs, would like to do what's easier) and if it will find it, the file will be moved to a different fixed folder. I need to do this script, but I have no idea how to do the scripts :) So can you help me please? Link to post Share on other sites

I find learning easier to breakdown the code and figure out myself how it's working, but that's just me. If you'd like to learn from scratch, look at these functions: _FileListToArrayRec, FileOpen, FileRead and FileMove siebentod 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Also thanks for learning recommendations, will check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
