IM looking for a way to write programs, or maybe "script" is abetter word, to perform certain "chores" on my computer.
Let me give you a few examples.
My desktop is constantly cluttered with random ****.
Video files, text files, music files, html documents, etc ...
I want to write a program that when i execute it, it goes through my desktop, and puts all the files into certain folders i indicate.
And also, i want to organize many text files. Like, for school related ****, let's say i tag them with something liek "sr" which stands for school related.
So i change the file name of let's say "history essay.rtf" to "sr history essay.rtf" so when i run the program it puts tagged documents like that into a separate folder for school related stuff.
Another thing is, ts annoying for me to check my emails. I would like to write another program, so when i execute it, it goes into my email, copies the first 5 email messages and the sender, and pastes it into a text document, so instead of checking my email, i can simply execute a program and read emails in a text document.
Also, in relation to email ****, i would like to make another program that when i execute it, it reads a textfile containing email addresses, subject lines, and the actual message (which i would write myself), and sends the email off without me ever ahving to log into my email.
also, when i say "run" the programs, i want it to be so when i click it, one of those black command boxes comes up (liek when you open .bat things) just quit right after its done. So everything i want is done with one double click.
so, my question is, how would i go about making these types of programs or scripts or whatever the word is. I am not asking anyone to write these for me, just what would be the best languages to use.
I took computer programming 4 years ago in high school, and i was exposed to visual basic.
thanks.
