automating repetitive tasks in windows

[chuck clark]

Hi,
I work for a small company and have been put in charge of automating
many of the
repetitive tasks our workers do everyday. I am looking for advice on
how to automate
much of this
We search for files(images) either locally or on another machine over
the network. At
this time, the files are almost randomly distributed within folders and
sub folders. When
the correct file is located, it is copied to a file either locally or on
another computer.
Our files are generally of the form 123456-0810.tif or
123456-1114.tif and we may
be searching for hundreds at a time to copy. What I would like to be
able to do
is have some sort of interface either, a simple stand alone app or a web
interface
with several fields, a source folder, destination folder, two file to
search fields, so
we could just enter the number portion of the file into say the 0810
field to search
for file 123456-0810.tif likewise for 1114.
It would need to accept our entire list of files to search and possibly
give a report
if the files were not found.
I would like to keep this a simple as possible but do have programming
knowledge
so I don't mind having to write much of it myself.

Any help is appreciated.
Chuck
