Hello,
This is my first post. I have just begun to code with python. My goal is to
convert about a dozen or
so DOS/Windows batch scripts(.bat) and vbscripts(.vbs) that I use on a
day-to-day basis to python so
that they can be run on either my windows or linux workstations.
The first things th
Wow! Got a lot of responses to my post. Thanks everyone. After reading all of
them, I may have to
learn by example after all. I'm going to try Alan Gauld's tutorials first.

Well, immediately I am having problems. Be patient with me.
This what I have...

Well, I'm new here and for the most I haven't got a clue as to what I'm doing,
however, I thought
your website was a jewel. Most of it was over my head but sometime in the
future I'm sure it will
become a valuable resource for me. (btw, I'm heading to Borders tonight with my
checkbook. Hoping
I'll look for it. Perhaps I should pick up one of the "Dummies" book too.

Ok. I'm not sure what programming language I want to try this in...since I'm
not sure how to write
this in any language (thought I'd give python a try.
Here's my problem: I have a directory full of about 2,000 pdf files. I want to
be able to add the
same comment to the "Category" field of each
Actually no. I want to change the Windows metadata. This is the same metadata
that is on all files.
It isn't PDF specific. (I wonder if Linux is the same)
Basically, I can select 100's of file in a dir, right-click, properties,
summary, and add something
to the Category field. This obviously a
help of dsofile.dll the above reads the "Category" attribute of
test.txt.

Maybe this is the same com error that you're getting

Ok, Tim. I believe you're right. If the vbscript is working then I'll continue
to use it and expand
on it. I'll only be using this on my WinXP box anyway. I just didn't want to
offend anyone in this
mailing list with vbscript code. I'm really trying to learn some python basics
but I'm no progr
