Hey all, question for you:
How hard would it be to code a program that would take an excel spreadsheet, and insert the values in the first column into individual text strings for a hyperlink? The output would be a textfile that would end up having a bunch of links like
Etc.
The reason I ask is because I only know very very entry level C++ and Java, and I'm not sure if it's going to be worth learning more of a language to accomplish this, or if it would just be easier to hire a rent-a-coder or something.
I could tell my initial thought for a program to help me out with all of the tickets here at work was going to be a literal hell to code, so this is just a toned down thought to try and streamline the process of updating all these helpdesk tickets.
Any input is greatly appreciated! If it's not stupidly hard to code, a point in the right direction would be great as well.
Thanks!
