I was looking for the same thing a year or so ago. This is the best I could come up with. I don't think there is a way to get the real serial number with Macro Scheduler.

Code: Select all

let>RP_DISPLAYERROR=1
Let>RP_WAIT=1
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=0
Run Program>cmd /c DIR *.ap > %TEMP_DIR%~HDSerial.txt
ReadFile>%TEMP_DIR%~HDSerial.txt,result
ReadLn>%TEMP_DIR%~HDSerial.txt,2,result
StringReplace>result, Volume Serial Number is ,,result
StringReplace>result,-,,result
DeleteFile>%TEMP_DIR%~HDSerial.txt
mdl>C Drive Serial #: %result%

Tested on Windows XP Pro.

Instead of the serial number, I just use a small text file on the root of the drive, and check to see if it exists. Each dirve can have a different name. I do this for nightly backups to hard drives. Each of the five hard drives has a file named Monday.txt ....Friday.txt. First part of the macro checks to see if Weekday.txt exists, if not, macro skips planned routine.
