Post New Requests Here / REQUEST: Automated search and move tool
« Last post by KoenFugro on October 10, 2008, 03:26 AM »Hello people!
I am a newbie on this forum
Not new on the donationcoders.com website (love it)
For my work i have a job to do, witch is first of all very boring, second, it takes much time!
This is the problem:
I have folders witch contains 1000 folders, folders are named barcode style, ie: EBN0000012355 then EBN0000012356 etc.
Each folder contains a PDF file. These PDF files are created from tiff files. And these tiffs do have the same barcode folder name, but are standing in two different folders somewere on our SAN.
I need the Tiff's and the PDF files together. So now the steps I need to take:
1. Open the folder where i can see the folder listing of all the PDFS.
2. I copy a barcode name, the go to the 1st folder on the SAN to search, richt click, paste the barcode name, and perform a search.
3. Repeat the abobe step on the second folder on the SAN.
4. I move the folder witch comes out the search result to the dir. containing PDF's.
5. I do the same with the second search result.
6. I go back to step one.
This looks for me something that can be done asutomatically. (am i right?:-))
So, i am curious for some tips, maybe code, please help me!
Kind regards,
Koen
ps.
I have allready tried some programs and stuff, did'nt work out..
