pcsound Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hello Again, Just relealised that the previous reply was not what I was intending to ask - although useful nonetheless. I have a logfile that is written to each time the script is run, each entry is timedatestamped. However I want to start a new logfile with each new day. I.e If the script is run on Monday the file Logfile_Mon.txt is created adn each subsequent run of the script on Monday appends to this file. But when the script is run on say Tuesday, the file LogFile_Tues.txt is created, and so on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
