Revolving Folders

[patgenn123]

I want to be able to create 7 folders on the desktop(one for each day of the week) and when the days go by, a new one is created as the old one is moved to another folder.

 

How do I create the folders with a date on them?

How do I create the folders with todays date on the newest one and the 8th day moved to another folder?

 

Thanks!

Well, what have you tried so far?

Joe,

 

Thanks for your reply. I want you to know that I am not good with computers and programming language. If you can teach me like I was a newbie with plain and simple language, it would greatly be appreciated!

 

Here is what I have so far. I am probably far off, but I am trying real hard to understand this.

 

Date/Time: Save "ddd M-d-yy" into %T1% /

Create Folder: "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Desktop\Rates -%T1%"

Variable Set Integer %N1% from Current Day

Variable Modify Integer: %N2% = %N1% + 7

Move File or Files: "Rates -%T1%"

Change Directory/Folder: "C:\Documents and Settings\Gabriella Gennarelli\Desktop\Old Rates"

 

//Note: I want %T2% to be the next day or loop this somehow?????//

 

 

What is happening is that I am creating the folder correctly and when I change the system time/day for a week in advance to test it, it creates another folder, but it doesn't move the old folder to a a new folder called "Old Rates" I know I am way off, but I am willing to learn, buy your book and do whatever I can to get this, but it will take a while.

 

 

the purpose of this is to make everything as efficient as possible.

 

The way I am doing this is that I purchased/am using a program that strips attachments from my Outlook inbox and directs it to a folder called "inbox". I want to rename these files with wildcards and send them to 2 folders. One is the folder with the respective Lender name(I get many attachments from all kinds of lenders about their programs/rates). The other is the folder(s) I want to create on my desktop with Names on the folders: i.e."Rates %T1%"(with %T1% being the day of the month).

 

When an attachment comes in, the "date created" in the attachment will be sent to the date created for the folder.

 

I want to have a weeks worth of folders on my desktop with all 7 days of the week. I want to start the week off "fresh" which means on Monday the desktop is clear of all folders ready to start anew for the next week everyday adding a new folder for Monday, Tues etc. with the date on the folder, but I want the old folders(from the prior week) to go to an archive folder to be kept for however long I want them there.

 

 

Thanks!
