Simple Text file transfer program
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
We have a list of commands in a single column text file called commands.txt. See example.
We also have a mapped drive. Call it Y: The commands file is will be located in Y:
When first run the program should first delete any file in Y: that is called reply.txt (if any exists) and copy the first row of commands.txt into a text file in Y: called transfer.txt, over writing the file of that name if there already was a transfer.txt file in Y:
The program should then loop.
Within each loop it should monitor Y: for the existence of a file called reply.txt.
If there is a file called reply.txt the next row of from commands.txt should be copied into transfer.txt and reply.txt should be deleted.
If there is no file called reply.txt the program should pause for 3 seconds or so and loop round, checking for reply.txt again.
The program ends when the last row of commands.txt has been copied into transfer.txt.
It doesnt matter much what software is used, so long as it runs under windows. Excel is fine too.
