Pull input from a folder rather than a specific file
I'm not too sure if I can do this, so I thought I'd check it out here to see if it would be possible or not.
I would like to pull a file from a folder instead of an actual path to a file.
So it would pull whatever txt file is in the folder C:\Users\me\Desktop\work so all I had to do was put the txt file in that folder and run the file instead of editing the code each and every time if I had to manually input the file name.
I was thinking about somehow pulling the file name off something, use it as a variable, and use that as the input name, but I'm not sure how to make something like that happen.
thanks.

Did you mean something like "monitoring a folder"?
