[HIRING] need to automate a task with a Python script

in hiring •  4 years ago 

I would like a Python script written that

  1. Checks a specified folder when it's first run and periodically afterwards for wave files with a modified date more recent than the last time the script checked
  2. The absolute pathnames of any that it finds should be added to a text file kept in the same folder as the script in the following format
    • "C:/absolute/path/with/forward slashes/surrounded/by/double quotes/example file 1.wav", 1;
    • "C:/absolute/path/with/forward slashes/surrounded/by/double quotes/example file 2.wav", 1;
    • etc.…
  3. If there are any entries in the text file at this point, launch a file called "remake.exe" residing in the same folder as the script

There is no particular deadline as long as we stay in constant communication about the progress of the project.

All code will need to be clean, organized and very well-commented. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like clarification about anything! If you see a better way to do something than what I'm suggesting, please bring it up!
