Greetings! My church uses a program called Easy Worship to display words and graphics on our live stream and our sanctuary screens. I am trying to do additional automation so our volunteers, some of whom aren't all that computer savvy, don't have to think too much. In Easy Worship, when I create a schedule of slides, I save the schedule as a file. There are several of these .sched files in the Schedules folder, and they're all name with a YYYYMMDD date format followed by the file .sched extension. What I'd like to do is schedule a task to load the last-saved/newest .sched file in the folder. Since the .sched files are associated with Easy Worship, I can use them to load the program and schedule. It's easy enough to statically schedule a task and load Easy Worship, but how do I do it so that it always takes action on the latest saved .sched file in the Schedules folder, or is there a way? Is there a way to do it with a batch file, or perhaps a vb script? Thanks!
You can build a .bat file that retrieves the system date, formats it as DDMMYY.sched, and launches Easy Worship with that name. This approach works well with simple automation needs. A useful example shows how to pull the current date via WMI, convert it into the required format, and then open the corresponding file using Easy Scheduler. Adjustments can be made if Easy Scheduler isn’t in your system path or if you prefer dynamic input.
