Hey everyone! I'm new to programming and decided to learn Python as my first language. I've noticed that I need to open a lot of spreadsheets every day, which gets tedious. I'm curious if it's possible to create a script in Python that lets me input links to these spreadsheets so I can open them all at once with a single click. How feasible is this? How long do you think it would take to set up? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

You could definitely use Python for this! If you're interested in data manipulation later, check out the pandas library. It lets you read Excel files easily and do awesome things with your data!
Definitely doable! While Python is more suited for file handling like reading and writing, you might want to use a native scripting language like PowerShell for Windows or Bash for Mac/Linux for tasks like this. You could create a script that:
- Hardcodes the links to the spreadsheets,
- Prompts you for the folder where the spreadsheets are, or
- Opens all spreadsheets located in the same folder as your script.
Running Python scripts through your command line can make things easier. Enjoy coding!
Why not just create a bookmarks folder in your browser and use the 'Open All Bookmarks' option? It's a quick solution without needing to code!
Yes, you can do it! But honestly, it might be simpler to just manually open them. Between coding and maintenance, it could take longer than just using shift + click + enter. But if you're looking to learn and build something, go for it!
If you're using ChatGPT to guide you, I'd say you could whip it up in about 10 minutes! But remember, you might want to actually engage with the coding process rather than just letting AI do it all for you!
