Hey All,

I need a solution to this, but google searches and other forums haven't turned up anything.

I've searched for the following scripts/types and I am able to modify and use as I need them, but here is what I want my system to do.

1) Pop up a input box, asking me "What have I changed/Added/Done?"
2) Generate a .txt file based on the current date and time, something like "Build_[Date][Time].txt"
3) Copy the text from the inside of the previously generated .txt file (last time I did it) to this text file (will always start with "Build_*" but the time stamp will be older.
4) Amend the text I imputed in 1 to the end of this new text file, including something like "I have done the following on [date][time]"
5) Delete a file a local folder (DropBox Share)
6) Copy a file from a local folder to another local folder (which is a DropBox Share)
7) Copy the new .txt file from 2, into the local folder (DropBox Share)

This is so that when I've updated my stuff, I can click a script and it does this for me, the DropBox will then update and my buddy can see what I've done (notes) and the new program.

Hope this makes sense, like I said, I can pull various scripts from various sites, but the copy with the wildcard has me stumped, (the part in number 3) so I figured I'd turn to the gods and see if anybody can help me out.

Thanks in advance.
