RoboTask forum

It's been almost a year since my company first tried RoboTask.  It has been performing mission-critical tasks with absolute reliability since then. 

Hi Oleg, Hope you're doing well!  Thanks to your help my RT server has delivered about 200,000 documents now, through email, ftp, and even through fax (printing to ActiveFax).  So far no complications at all.  I did think of an interesting suggestion.  An expanded "File Loop" function.  It...

Have you considered using RT to create a batch file?  I'm not sure how much you can do from a command line with winrar (don't use it myself as zip suits me).  But I do use RT to batch-encrypt using gpg.  RT can't run GPG directly, but it can loop all the file names (along with the commands and param...

Hi Oleg, I think I tracked down my trouble.  I had initially installed Robotask (in demo mode) from a remote session.  I knew from our previous discussions that the Service Mode icon would not appear in a remote session on Win2K server - but I though that in XP pro (since you can ONLY have one sessi...

Hi Oleg, It's been a while, and for the most part everything has been working well.  The trouble that I have been having is that I cannot edit the NT-Service tasks. In short, I have installed the NT service, and according to the task manager and the service manager it IS running, yet the green Robot...

I've made a number of suggestiong that I feel would be relatively simple to impliment and very useful.  Among them: SFTP, FTP synchronize, Wildcards in email attachments, GoTo line functions for Text Loops, dynamic character transformations for variable values (like excel functions END, MID, etc.). ...

Give or take a bit.  I've made suggestions for several modifications that would expand the range of functions Robotask is capable of, as well as making some tasks more efficient.  In any case, there are very few things you can not make Robotask do if you work at it. Robotask is naming, backing up, d...

Thanks Oleg, I've had good luck with the {Validfilename()} variable.  Just what I was looking for. I'll write my accolades in the 'endorsements' string, since I'm now running most of the file management, renaming, delivery, and backup for about USD 750,000 worth of transcription files through Robota...

Ok, in RT2.1 we can use variables as email attachments, which is great.  But wildcards don't seem yet to be an option.  So, for example, if I need to send c:\DOCUMENTS\*.doc as an email attachment, without predetermining the number of files or the file names, does anyone know how I can do this? What...

Game?   Are in in an ActiveX control window?
