AUTOMATION TASK DESCRIPTION & OUTPUT REQUIREMENT I'm looking for an application, workflow or script to complete the following process/workflow: START with 2 (or more) files, for example, [login to view URL] & [login to view URL] in an existing folder on the desktop called “BASE” Action 1: Copy the two image files to another existing folder on the desktop called “OUTPUT” Action 2: Change the file extension of the copied files in the output folder from .jpg to .shtml (they are now essential text files.) Action 3: Replace all the text of the new .shtml files with new text through a ‘text replace’ action (see text below) Action 4: Move the original .jpg from the BASE folder to the OUTPUT folder so the output folder contains the two original files and two .shtml files of the same name. 4 files in total. The action is effectively, open the .shtml file, select all text, delete all text, insert the new text as below, save the file, cloe the file. (1) <html> (2) <head> (3) <title>INPUT TITLE</title> (4) <!--#include virtual="[login to view URL]" --> (5) <img src="[login to view URL]"/> (6) <!--#include virtual="[login to view URL]" --> (7) </body> (8) </html> Line (3) of the above code will require an manual INPUT step in the workflow. This title would be consistent across each batch of files so the title would be supplied once and then used in all the .shtml files Line (5) of the code will be constant except for the filename which will be the same as the .shtml filename. In this example the .shtml files would contain the below. (1) <html> (2) <head> (3) <title>IMAGE 01, 02</title> (4) <!--#include virtual="[login to view URL]" --> (5) <img src="[login to view URL]"/> (6) <!--#include virtual="[login to view URL]" --> (7) </body> (8) </html> Filename would be [login to view URL] (1) <html> (2) <head> (3) <title>IMAGE 01, 02</title> (4) <!--#include virtual="[login to view URL]" --> (5) <img src="[login to view URL]"/> (6) <!--#include virtual="[login to view URL]" --> (7) </body> (8) </html> Filename would be [login to view URL] Summary of Process START WITH IN “BASE” Folder FINISH WITH IN “OUTPUT” Folder [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] (containing text described above) [login to view URL] (containing text described above)

I think at Action 2&3, just create a new empty file with extension .shtml, and paste the text content in it should be fine. This task can be done by a VB script at Windows platform, or a Shell at Linux.
