Greetings all this is my first post and hopefully it isn't too out of my own realm of understanding! Basically I want to write a personal use script that let's me upload pictures, or share links on my facebook. I tried reading the code from web products that DO this such as: Hootsuite, but everything is embedded, or nested (rightfully so). I'm trying to apply this script to my job as well as personal use since it would help expedite a lot of arduous and repetitive tasks. For instance, if I'm pulling a report and it gives me several documents, uploading them to my Sharepoint individually, and navigating to the folder is going to take a lot of time. This is assuming i do it correctly, and not store it in the wrong spot! So in essence I'm trying to take a file, or even a link that is already present on a webpage and store it, paste it, copy it, etc. to another, either within the same program or else where. Is that something that's possible through Java? Am i way in over my head for trying to cut off a few minutes of my work day?

On the off chance my explanation wasn't very good this is in essence what I want to do:

Script MoveLinks

If I select a link and want to share it, paste it, etc. then
Choose location
paste
repeat as needed

OR

IF i need to upload 32 files from my "Files" folder to Sharepoint
Then select all 32 items individually, and upload them to my Sharepoint filepath of choice

End Script

Is this something that Java can do, and if so how do I go about building the script, applet, etc. and using it? If not then what SHOULD i use?

You can look at Selenium. It's very popular and most programming languages have Selenium libraries. Have a look at: http://www.seleniumhq.org/
