 Posted: Wed Oct 04, 2006 10:46 pm Post subject: script requests:monthly reminder & file comparing |
 |
|
Hello. Anyone can help with these two things I'd like?
Firstly, I'd like a monthly reminder pop-up message on the same date. How could I do that?
Second is a little more complicated, I would like to compare the files in two different folders, and delete all the files in folder #2 that are NOT in folder #1. Make sense?
Any help mucho appreciated & sorry for my dumbness that I cannot figure it out. |

* Not Tested *
| Code: | Folder1 := "C:\WINNT"
Folder2 := A_Temp
Loop %Folder2%
IfNotExist, %Folder1%\%A_LoopFilename%, FileDelete, %A_LoopFileLongPath% |

Put this one liner in your startup folder and it will remind you every 5th:
| Code: | | IfEqual, A_DD, 05, MsgBox, 64, Monthly Alert!, Take a Haircut, 5 |
Regards,

Wow. Thanks Goyyah. So simple, too. I think you deserve the "Most Helpful" award around here.

I had to change the folder script slightly to:
| Code: | Folder1 := "C:\WINNT"
Folder2 := A_Temp
Loop %Folder2%\*.*
IfNotExist, %Folder1%\%A_LoopFilename%, FileDelete, %A_LoopFileLongPath% |
otherwise it wouldn't work.
But how to check every day for the monthly reminder? Should I use:
| Code: | SetTimer, Monthly, 86400000
Monthly:
IfEqual, A_DD, 05, MsgBox, 64, Monthly Alert!, Take a Haircut, 5 |

Supposing you have a NT-based system (w2k, wXP), in the Configuration panel, you have a Scheduled Tasks entry (Tâches planifiées on my system).
If you enter it, you will find probably a single entry in Explorer-like view, allowing you to create a new scheduled task (Création d'une tâche planifiée).
There, a wizard will let you choose a program, set up date of run and frequency if any, etc.
