Playing with Files

This week was a shortened week due to the upcoming FIRST Robotics Regional. I only had two work days this week, but they were used hard at work first putting all of my scanned street light ".pdf" files into separate folders, naming them, and then removing the specific page that showed the street light layout on each document into its own ".tiff" file, although the exact process for each one is slightly different. For the ones that were scanned before me, all the folder has is ".tiff" files and I need to combine them into a ".pdf". Others are only the ".pdf", while the best ones are both the ".pdf" and the ".tiff", so all I need to do is delete the unnecessary ".tiff" files. Unfortunately, I had about two hundred of these to do as well, which still took me a deceptively long time.

However, all of the folder naming and placements are done for them, and I am now starting on removing the ".tiff" files on them. As I said last week, it is at least some solace to know that all that I do is compounding on itself and becoming a part of something bigger.
