This has nothing to do with Poser, but given the abilities of the group here, I thought I'd give it a shot...

Anyone here know how to write a menu program for windows 7 that, based on user input can rename a data file, then call an exe? Doesn't seem like much to it, but I don't program at all.

If anyone wants to make a few bucks writing this, please contact me.

More detail ? pm me if you want.

I write visual basic for small applications and what you describe is fairly easy to do. A batch file may well work but its not as neat.

Check your sitemail.

I have replied on sitemail.

I am suggesting three bat files like the following.

create a shortcut to each and put them in your start menu if you like or on the desktop.

copy "direttore.concert", "direttore.ini"
direttore.exe

you dont indicate a need to name the file back after the application finishes.

So simple and obvious... I guess that's why I never thought outside of the menu box. I am in your debt.

its not as elegant but its under your control if you need changes. People forget that what were dos batch files still work.
