Trigger Program on Certain Occasions

[winstein]

The script in which I will compile into a program will need to be run when a new file is added to a folder. Is there a way to do this?

To put it this way, I want to run the program so that as soon as one file is generated, the existence of that file will in turn make this executable work.

Thanks for reading.

If this is to be compiled you'd need to make a loop which checks for the existence of the file and act accordingly, then make it loop over again. And then you'd need to start the compiled macro (the .exe) and leave it running continuously.

Your code would be something like:

Code: Select all

Label>start
IfFileExists>filename
  //do something
Endif
Wait>0.2
Goto>start
