Find And Run Robot / appending text to todo.txt file?
« on: July 19, 2006, 10:47 AM »
Hi there.  I'm not great with .bat files or command lines, but is there an easy way to bring up FARR, type in "todo feed dog" and then have "feed dog" with date and time put into my todo.txt file?  I found something similar for slickrun, however, I dont' know how to implement it with FARR.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!
