I would like a bat file to copy files only if it is the first day of the month. I found an excellent post that is very close to what I need, but I'm not DOS savy enough to adapt it from day-of-week to day. Thanks!!

The following script should fit your need: @Echo Off For /F "tokens=2 delims= /-" in ('Date /T') Do If not %%A==01 GoTo :EOF Echo This command runs only if the first day of the month The problem here is the Date format as it relays on the country settings; so the command I posted assumes the European format day dd/mm/yyyy, but in USA it is day mm-dd-yyyy leading to tokens=3. By the way under Windows XP the Date command returns no day of week, so tokens must be adjusted scaling by one. Warning: be sure to insert a space after the = ending delims. I hope this helps, otherwise post again.
