I need to find a script or program that parses a large, delimited text
file and creates separate Windows shortcut files out of each row. The
source file would contain FirstName, Last Name, Extension, Email, and
Department and could be delimited in any way. The script/program would
read each row and create a Windows Internet Shortcut. This shortcut
file contains "[InternetShortcut]" on the first line and
"URL=mailto:First.Last@domain.com" on the second and would place it in
a directory called "Department". I don't know what it takes to create
a file class that can act as a Windows Internet Shortcut. This script
or program should run without having to buy a program. In other words,
DOS, Office (VBA) or open source programs (Perl, Python) are fine as
long as you tell me anything special to get it going.
