Conversation: [windows2000] Scripting question
Subject: [windows2000] Scripting question


And my second question for the day ;-)

I am running a process that creates a file based on the current date. The date 
of course always changes in the file name, while the other part of the file 
name never changes. (e.g. 2004-03-30.filename.txt)  I'd like to move the file 
on a daily base to a different directory.

Now I am running into problems with how to do that. Is there a way to tell a 
script to use today's date' as part of the file name when moving the file? I am 
not really a good scripting person - so, any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Christoph
