[Q] es file explorer script to copy/paste files - General Questions and Answers

hi all
Please don't shoot me for not searching for this because I have and there was only one result in the HTC Pico forum which was way above my level of understanding.
Basically what I'm looking for is a script that a user can click on within ES File Explorer that will basically do the following:
Copy a ZIP file from Dropbox folder (the Dropbox account will have already been manually added)
Paste the ZIP file into a local folder (/sdcard/Android/data/)
Delete an existing folder in the local folder called 'files'
Extract the zip file to the folder, this will place a new folder called 'files'
Now I need to be able to run the script from the Android device itself rather than using a remote PC to run ADB commands, hence the reason why I'm asking if ES Explorer can be used. Basically I'm doing this several times a day using the graphical interface of ES File Explorer and it does it all, but several manul steps are involved, hence I'm wondering if someone can help me write script.
If anyone is interested in helping me I'm willing to pay you directly / or contribute to your selected charity / worthy cause.
If this were to be done by ADB commands I guess they would look something like this:
--place this script in the dropbox folder containg the files.zip file. Execute the script
adb shell cat files.zip /sdcard/Android/data/
adb shell cd /sdcard/Android/data/
adb shell rmdir files
adb shell unzip files.zip
Hoping someone can help.
Thanks.

Hi Darth
No problem at all, however isn't that forum related specifically to the HTC Pico?

You didn't mention another device? ?

Any recent android device, but in particular to tablets. Definitely not the HTC Pico though.
Thanks.

Then you need to be asking here,

?

Thank you. Thread closed.

The app needs to be copied to /data/app folder on the new tablet. You may also copy it to /sdcard folder and then execute it from there. You'd need a File explorer app such as ES File Explorer to do so.

[Completed] [Q] Access a file on mobile through laptop(PS: not copy cut paste but actual access)

To be precise, my purpose is: I want to use an MS Access database, stored in my mobile memory through a software on my laptop, both being in the same WiFi network.
I have used various file manager apps, but everywhere I am able to just copy, paste or move the file through laptop on mobile and vice versa.
To give an example: Through ES File Explorer, I opened an excel file in my mobile through my laptop and worked on it. But when I wanted to save, then instead of saving on the same excel file, it created a new copy. But my purpose was that it should have saved on the same excel file, like it happens to any other file if saved on laptop memory.
I hope I've been able to explain myself.
I'll be really glad if someone could provide me a solution to this.
PS: I have rooted my phone, so problem of not having root access won't be there.
