Print pdf files from folder, matching the numbers in the Excel column
Hi folks,
I need to write the script performs the following tasks:
there is a column of numbers in Excel . Column's length is not known beforehand. On the other hand there is the folder that contains the files of invoices in PDF format. it is necessary to print all existing files matching the numbers in the column and for those numbers that do not have corresponding the pdf files, to display a message: "In the folder does not corresponding invoice number"

cell in the Excel spreadsheet is:
123456
the file name just
123456.pdf
123456
the file name just
123456.pdf
A few more questions:
(1) Is the Excel spreadsheet in the same folder as the PDF files?
(2) Do you already have a program installed that can print a PDF file via the command line? I recommend it to have a "quiet/no-UI" option so that the program doesn't appear for each file that is printed.
(3) Do you want to print to the default printer or be able to specify (by name) which printer to use?
(4) I see that your Tags and Topics for this question include PowerShell. Does the script have to be written in PowerShell or can it be in another scripting language?

I know very little about PowerShell, but my programming background in other languages makes me wonder where that code displays the message "In the folder does not corresponding invoice number" for those numbers that do not have corresponding PDF files. I'd like to understand this. Thanks, Joe

I want to close the question
That's fine. I did not object to your closing the question. I simply made another post in the hopes of understanding how that script solves the question you asked.
123456
is the file name just
123456.pdf
or could it be
Invoice 123456.pdf
or inv_123456_20141109.pdf
or whatever? Regards, Joe
