Title: Reports And Locations

My company has Laservault as a report storage system which requires the reports that will be archived to be placed in a single folder for processing. What I'm wondering is if anyone has had any luck with being able to scan the print directory looking for specfic file names and then copying them off. This would need to be an automatic process. Any thoughts would be great.

That's been done by a number of 3rd party apps. Easy to do, of course, but the trick is that often the names and folders must be something that is pre-defined. Either in a script or in a setup window. Then the user must always print to that name (i.e. use the same job name each time).

Now I know of a certain David Schronce who will say, Wait a minute, someone could whip up a UNIX shell script that will scan and grab and archive automatically, regardless of the job name or the person who's running the job. Perhaps he may want to chime in here. (I don't have the time to figure out the scripting.)
