Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Popup box to automate command prompt daily file copy task
« on: February 23, 2008, 08:55 PM »
First off just want to say Donation Coder rocks. FARR and Clipboard Help+Spell are my top 2 favorites utilities on my computers.
I was hoping someone could help me with the following task i do a lot daily?
I copy a file from a mapped network share to my computer daily and the file is tagged with a number and then a description. Currently I do the following to complete this task:
start -> run -> cmd.exe
x:
copy *1234567*.zip c:\share
exit
I was hoping someone would be able to show me a method that would allow for instance the following.
I would hit a hotkey (win+c) that launches a small pop-up box that prompts for the “1234567” value mentioned above, then in the background the application switch's to the mapped drive “x:” and runs the copy command for me. If it cant find the file, I was wondering if its possible to have a “retry” button possibly?
Thanks for reading this and keep up the great work, i love the website.
