Introduction
The script wizard is the easiest way to create jv16 PowerTools scripts. You don't really have to know anything about how the scripting engine or the script language works, you just tell the program what you want it to do and it will create the script you need for you.

Usage
You really don't have to know anything about script files in order to create scripts with the script wizard. The only thing you will sooner or later ponder about is how to create a script that will remove files or directories. The answer is easy, just start the wizard and proceed to the second step. Then check Remove files and then write the filenames or filename masks in XFG format (read more about XFG).

So, if you want to remove all temp files from C:\Temp directory you can do it with:
"C:\Temp\*.tmp". Or you can also remove files from many directories at one time, for example: "C:\Temp\*.tmp" "D:\TempDir\*.temp" will take care of both of the cases at one time. And the same thing goes also for directories, just add the directories inside quotes, like "C:\Temp" "D:\TempDir" and so on.

After you have created a script it will appear to the script manager (unless you have saved it to some other directory than the default). From the script manager you can execute or modify it to further fill your needs.
