Ahh... VBScript or Perl, probably. http://www.wiredeuclid.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=books&file=index&req= view_cat&cid=1
Has links to all the scripting books I own/use/recommend. I'd start with VBScript and go from there, since its free and pretty easy to learn. I've been frustrated by a few of the things that VBScript can't do, though, so I'm actually starting to teach myself C#, but haven't put code to editor on that yet. -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
