Zip Files accoring to date

[Otte]

I am trying to create a script that will automatically zip up a folder according to date, i want it to zip up the folder that is 7 days old (eg if I run it today it would zip up the folder called 20070316)

On a command line I would use this;

"C:\program files\winzip\wzzip.exe" 20070316.zip 20070316

So far in my script I have this but it doesn't work;

; This is copy of Date.au3 but changes the format to be yyyymmdd instead of yyyy/mm/dd
#include <Date-NoSlash.au3>

; Subtract 7 days from today
$sNewDate = _DateAdd( 'd',-7, _NowCalcDate())

Run('"C:\program files\winzip\wzzip.exe"' & " " & $sNewDate & '.zip' & " " & $sNewDate"" , "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Any help would be greatly appriciated

Not sure why you created your own date include and don't know what it contains but think this will work:

; This is copy of Date.au3 but changes the format to be yyyymmdd instead of yyyy/mm/dd
#include <Date.au3>

; Subtract 7 days from today 20070316
$sNewDate = StringReplace(_DateAdd( 'd',-7, _NowCalcDate()),"/","")

Run('"C:\program files\winzip\wzzip.exe" ' & $sNewDate & '.zip ' & $sNewDate , "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Thanks for that, it works a treat. I created my own date include to get rid of the / but you have included it within the code which is much better.
