Hobbyist Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 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%" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 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.

Hobbyist Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 BrewManNH WOW - didn't see ALL that was available. Thanks for pointing that out. Much simpler to work with 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
