Web siteMy brother wrote a program that puts today's date and time into environment variables so you can do exactly this kind of thing. Let me know if you want it, I'll email it to you off list. - Bob Coffman > 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.
