First let me start of by saying that I am not a programmer or code person.
I used to design websites back in the dinosaur ages of the internet but don’t have a clue about any of it these days.
Here’s my situation.
We use a Windows10 computer and our printer software (RIP program called Filmmaker10) saves a Job History file to the C: drive and appends new job print data to the top of the XML file each time a new job is printed.
The Job History is accessible inside of the printer program but there’s about 4 or 5 buttons/menus that you have to go through in order to simply see the job history info.
We need quick and easy access to the Job Name and the Date/Time the job was printed.
The XML file contains much more info about the job within it, but we only need easy quick access to those two items of info from the XML file.
So, my question is this.
Is it possible to have a local HTML file stored on the C: drive that we can open which will then pull the info (Job Name, Date/Time) from the locally stored XML file and display it in a simple table format with alternating row colors (using a CSS file I assume) for easy quick viewing.
Again, I have no clue if this is even possible and how to do it.
In my mind, it seems like this might be a pretty simple process, but I lack the knowledge on how to make this actually work….so I thought I’d ask for some help here from you all.
Thanks so much for any information and feel free to laugh at my stupidity! =D
I appreciate any and all help and/or direction
Thanks!!
