[Question #247469]: Need someone to program Sikuli to perform some tasks for me - relatively easy for any programer

Maybe I can figure this out with enough time, but I really don't have the time as I'm facing a number of fast approaching deadlines. 


Here's what I'd like to achieve, and of course I'm willing to pay for someone to put together the code for me. I have many different students for who I need to put together some videos for using Windows Movie Maker. I will 

I have a master folder, for the sake of simplicity we will call this student's master folder using her English name - "HAPPY" In this master folder there are master pictures with assorted names, for example "listen," "teacher," "important," "school," "goodbye" and so on.

Currently I need to create 65 new folders for each student numbered 1 through 65. In each of these folders need to copy some of the pictures from the master folder and rename those pictures.  

For example in folder 1(one) I need to copy the files "listen," "school," "important," and "teacher"

Some important notes - there will only be one source file for each picture in the master folder, however, in almost every case there need to be multiple copies of the same picture in the created sub-folders. Eg. "listen" in folder one should be copied 6 times, each instance with a different name. 

The names of these files are incredibly important and need to follow my exact template. Therefore they cannot just be a simple numbered sequence. Again in my folder 1(one) example the names for the listen files would need to be "22_listen", "27_listen", "50_listen", "57_listen - Copy", "60_listen - Copy - Copy" and finally  "66_listen"

This is stage one of the project and for now might actually be sufficient. 

Ideally though there are two other stages. The second stage would then be to copy the pictures from these 65 folders into other folders on my computer, where they will replace existing pictures. From my limited understanding the second two stages should actually be relatively straightforward,and in fact to achieve them I think I'd just need to know how to copy the contents of one folder to another in the quickest way possible. I think using commands would be much more efficient than making use of graphical interfaces so that's how I'd like to achieve this stage when possible. 

I've managed to complete the third stage on my own... maybe... so no need to go into the details for now. 

Hopefully this all makes sense, but if not I'd be happy to do my best to explain my case until someone understands! Thanks!
