This is solved...Thank You!
Well hello eschwartz, my favorite Irrational Optimist,
First I would like to say thank you so very, very, much! I believe you may be a God! I seriously am thinking of building a shrine in your honor in the back forty, sort of a Stonehenge of Iowa, now that I will have so much extra time since I will not have to sort through every file that I receive individually.
Just so you don't think I was sitting idly by waiting for an answer, well okay, I did do just that for a day, but one can only wait on hold for so long. I did not give up on this, as a matter of fact I have spent hours every day trying to figure this out. Yeah, I know, doesn't say much for my intelligence but at least I'm persistent, or my OCD kicked in and would not let go, and I figured if I could not get help by groveling I would have to find the solution myself.
I am smiling right now because for the last four hours I have downloaded and installed Python, PyCharm, QT5, and QT4 and I did a small tutorial. Yes, folks I was on my way to becoming a Python expert. My "Hello World" worked just fine, thank you very much. Then I saw your post and realized I could stop banging my head against the desktop.
Your code worked flawlessly! I realize now why my efforts were not working, thank you for the tips. I was trying to put brackets everywhere, counting out four spaces. etc. I feel ridiculous right about now, but I don't care because I finally have my solution. I think you are right about putting this into a custom Python script. I did read the manual! I think I might try that, who knows maybe the thing might even work. I will let you know if I ever get it completed, for now though I am taking a Python break.
Thank you again eschwartz, really, I mean that. Your help is more than appreciated!
