I want to update the excel files in the Cn folder on the desktop. There is an Autoopen command in excel files. When the file is opened, if the conditions are suitable, it updates and closes it. I wanted to have a python code that opens these files in alphabetical order for the night hours when the conditions are completely suitable, waits until the update is finished and moves on to the next file after the file closes itself. I also wanted to create a .bat file to trigger this python file and trigger this .bat file with the windows task scheduler. But no action happens. What is the problem? Python code : import os import time import win32com.client # Define the path to the 'Cn' folder on the desktop folder_path = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~/Desktop"), "Cn") # Start the Excel application (in background) excel = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") excel.Visible = True # Set to False if you want it hidden # Get Excel files in alphabetical order files = sorted( f for f in os.listdir(folder_path) if f.lower().endswith((".xlsm", ".xlsb", ".xlsx", ".xls")) ) # Open each file in order, wait for update to finish, then move to the next for file in files: full_path = os.path.join(folder_path, file) print(f"Opening: {file}") try: wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(full_path) # Wait until the AutoOpen process finishes and the file closes itself while True: time.sleep(1) if wb.Name not in [w.Name for w in excel.Workbooks]: print(f"Closed: {file}") break except Exception as e: print(f"Error occurred ({file}): {e}") # Quit Excel after all files are processed excel.Quit() .bat code @echo off cd /d "C:\Users\****\Desktop\Cn" "C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\python.exe" cn_excel_ac.py Continue reading...
