Otte Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 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 Otte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted March 23, 2007 Developers Share Posted March 23, 2007 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) SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

I created my own date include to get rid of the / but you have included it within the code which is much better. Otte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
