Rename files for archiving last N days

In an offline email with Edward, I reminded him that Movefile also does Rename also. (I had actually requested RenameFile as a new command and had to be told that Movefile already did that! What a dummy, me!) :oops: He had suggested that our offline email content should be on the forum, and I agreed...

Hi Edward. No problem with making any of this public. It is my preference to always do that so that we can all share from each other. As I noted in our email, I thought that you already had some good suggestions, but here is my contribution anyway. Included here is how I modified the sample code tha...

Interesting reading about the CD burn options and the spyware controversies, but these seem to be way off line of the Macro Scheduler scripting issues. I was going to suggest that perhaps you continue this in private email or open up a separate topic. This topic was originally using dates in file na...

Hi Armstrong.... I get a different conclusion. I duplicated your exact path and filename. The only difference I am aware of is that my default browser is Netscape 4.79. But I did include Iexplore line from your original script also . I found that the culprit seems to be the comma after the word Soft...

Shitt-Esc running

I am running version 7.1.13 on Windows 98 SE. If I press CTL-ALT-DEL to look in the Close Program window, I notice that Macro Scheduler now seems to be identified as "Shift-Esc to stop" in the Close Program window. My recollection is that this normally was listed as "Msched" in the past. It does cha...

You will need to add the following line at the beginning of the VB script: Dim fso As Object Function Test() Dim fso As Object ... ... ... WScript probably also needs to be declared, but I am not sure what you are trying to do....The Echo Action can be used in Access to hide a macro, but that does n...

Since the newer version of Macro Scheduler has VB scripting support included, we will probably be discussing more vb code issues. Could I suggest that a separate Forum Category be set up to deal with them separately? I know that at times, they will not be able to be separated, but think it would be ...

Note that my last reference should have been to version 1.1.13, not 1.1.17.

(I thought that was the version noted on the release message).

Stay tuned was correct. New version 7.1.17 has option to show invisible characters! And I just made that suggestion a few hours ago! You must have been ahead of me. :oops: Re the message to press Code button, I may have read that text months ago, but never really registered with me. And it never cat...

:cry: This does not sound like the quality answers we usually get from Macro Scheduler. This will only last for a few days by those of us who were fortunate to be reading this thread. As time goes on, others will not follow these steps and the subject will constantly come up with the same answer: Pr...

Hello FS

If you did a cut and paste from this forum you may have an extra space at the end of line, like "PC" might be "PC-space"

This sometime happens when copying scripts to clipboard from here. Might not be the cause this time, but keep it in mind in the future.

This is not related to your original problem, but.... Maybe I missed something here, but what happens if the window title is NOT "Software by ABCDEF"?. It looked to me like you just continue with the same script no matter what the value is. From your sample code: If>window_title=Software by ABCDEF,l...

No credit to me for that code.

It is a variation on the code supplied by Support. Give them the credit.

I had a problem running the sample array script. (Using 7.1.12). I was only getting a display that showed Names[1], etc. I added two rows, modified the Message line, and increased Until count to 4. The result is here: ============================= Let>Names[1]=Fred Let>Names[2]=Sally Let>k=3 Let>Nam...
