Hello Everyone ,
After using Directory Opus over a time, I am really amazed with how strong its file management features are. I've been experimenting with the custom script features lately to try automating some of my tedious chores.
I have, however, run into a couple obstacles and would really value some advice from the community.
My main objective is to write a script that can do the following:
File Renaming: Oftentimes, I get batch of files with erratic file names. My goal is to write a script which can modify these files according to certain standards, like changing the file names' case or appending a prefix or suffix.
Folder Organisation: Depending on the file type or creation date, I frequently have to arrange files into subfolders. For instance, all picture files need to be placed in the "Images" folder, and all documents need to be organised in the "Documents" folder.
Metadata Management: Specifically, I want to be able to take metadata out of and update different kinds of files, such documents and photographs. I would save a tonne of time if this process were automated.
I also followed this https://community.spiceworks.com/t/custom-file-management-task-in-fsrm/uipath
I have the following specific queries:
- Which programming language in Directory Opus would be most suited for these tasks?
I've worked with both JScript and VBScript on occasion.
- Can I use any scripts or resources which currently exist as a starting point to do these tasks?
- Could someone please assist me get started on one of the aforementioned chores by providing a simple example script?
Thank you in advance.
