I hope I understood what you want; if so try the following script. It checks the timestamp of the files keyed into the command line and jumps to the Batch_File if only one has not the today date. Substitute [Batch_File_Name] with the name of batch witch you will jump to. @Echo Off :: CompDat.Bat Syntax: CompDat FileName [FileName] [FileName] ... For /F "Tokens=2 Delims= " %%a in ('Date /T') Do Set ToDay=%%a :LOOP If "%1"=="" GoTo EXIT Dir %1 /A:-D /X | Find "%ToDay%" > Nul If ErrorLevel 1 [Batch_file_Name] Shift GoTo LOOP :EXIT Echo. Echo All Files have %ToDay% TimeStamp Set ToDay= The script works only under Win NT/2K/XP.
