I also many many years ago wrote an executable that does this that you can put into a batch file to figure out what day it is and then perform an action: See http://thethin.net/schedule.zip <http://thethin.net/schedule.zip> We would use this to backup our users Netscape favorites every few days in case they got lost which always seemed to happen. JK -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Puetz, Christoph Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 2:46 PM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' 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.
