DOS file in Autoit


Recommended Posts

I'm trying my hand at taking something in DOS and using it in Autoit.

But at this point I'm getting an error and not sure why.

I think the error is in the checking the day but don't know why.

I think it is the line:

if %cwday% LEQ 03 set /A m=%m%-01

This is to check the date and if it is still within the first three days of the month, use the previous month file. 

 Any help would be appreciated.

echo off
@title Month
FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/-/ " %%A IN ("%date%") DO (
SET cwMonth=%%A
SET cwDay=%%B
SET cwYear=%%C
)
for /f "usebackq tokens=2 delims=/ " %%n in ('%date%') do set m=%%n
if %cwday% LEQ 03 set /A m=%m%-01 
set "m=0%m%"
set "m=%m:~-2%"
if "%m%" == "01" set month=January
if "%m%" == "02" set month=February
if "%m%" == "03" set month=March
if "%m%" == "04" set month=April
if "%m%" == "05" set month=May
if "%m%" == "06" set month=June
if "%m%" == "07" set month=July
if "%m%" == "08" set month=August
if "%m%" == "09" set month=September
if "%m%" == "10" set month=October
if "%m%" == "11" set month=November
if "%m%" == "12" set month=December
set abc=%month%
set efg=List.xls
set x=MY
set y=Files
set z=History
set xyz=%abc% %x% %y% %z% %efg%
start /max "" "%xyz%"

Why don't you just use AutoIt to do it? Batch files are so last century. ;)

Look at the date macros (@MDay, @MON, etc.) and the Date UDF that comes with AutoIt.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.
