ChatGPT -- any useful prompts for writing script code?

Help & Support

Anyone got any good prompts for ChatGPT when asking it to write Directory Opus script code?
Especially helpful would be anything that can make it better at writing GUI-related code -- I keep getting error after error when trying to do this.

I'll start with the only useful prompt I have:

Remember: Directory Opus uses JScript NOT Javascript.

ChatGPt knows a lot about Directory Opus and scripting here.
The code here:

is in 99% written by ChatGPT. In the query I just underlined to create script for Directory Opus using Vbscript.

After creating script ChatGPT also gave step by step instruction of how to assign the script to button :slight_smile:

And here is example query to ChatGPT to create script:

I need a script for Directory Opus, which will do as following:

  1. for each folder in "F:", check the folder name pattern. If the pattern is x1#x2#x3#x4#x5 then go to point 3.
  2. If the folder name does not match to patrern, skip it.
  3. get the value of x1
  4. On disk Y: check if there is a folder which name is the same as previously taken from x1 (the matching shouldn't be case sensitive)
  5. If script will find a folder that corresponds to x1, as mentioned in point 4, go to point 7
  6. If it's impossible to match x1 value to any folder on drive y:, then skip such folder
  7. Copy the matching folder from "F:" to corresponding folder on drive Y:, leaving it's attributes (including Directory Opus labels) unchanged. Then if copying is succesful, delete this folder from "F:"
  8. Do all these points to all folders in "F:".
  9. Show me summary for all script's iteration. I want to see list of all folders that have been checked by script with statuses (if the pattern wasn't correct or there were no matching folder on drive Y:) or done (if folder was copied succesfuly to the corresponding folder on drive Y: and deleted from "F:")

I prefer vbscript
