Dear forum,
I've been trying to get Automator to do a series of tasks for me but I'm having some difficulty and I've hit a brick wall. Here is what I would like to do:
I get mails from a website where my students do grammar quizzes and the mails are exactly like this:
The A vs. An Quiz 2 was completed by Ray Stevens:
Final Score: 10/10
Student Comments:
What I currently do manually is input this data in a simple numbers spreadsheet with the following columns:
NAME; QUIZ; DATE; RIGHT ANSWERS; TOTAL QUESTIONS; % (formula)
I then wait til a student has about done about (another) 10 quizzes and then send them a normal bar chart showing the names and results of each test they have do so far.
This is all quite simple, but as the number of students increases, it takes up more and more of my time. I would therefore like to try to automate this task, meaning get Automator to:
Find the respective mails in the Mail programme,
Copy/export/steal/borrow the info that should go into the numbers spreadsheet,
(if possible) Send my students an email with a graph of their results.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
