    Help with sort and file I/O

    You're on the right track, you have the elements in an array in code. You must have studied the techniques for sorting, heap/ binary, etc. That would be your next step, to sort the elements from list() to a new aray, slist(). THen write out that array to the new file.

    Scheduled Tasks

    There are generic solutions to this.. like windows scripting languages. One of the tools I use is a free application/complier called AUTOITScripting. It's not hard to use and it will work for dos/windows and web scripting. Take a look at that
