Batch file: rename file based on fs

I need to create a "simple" batch file that will not only rename a specified file to the date it was renamed (example: batch.log to batch-080508.log) but also based on the file size limit (example: if file size is less than 50MB, please rename batch.log to batch-080508.log)

vbscript
strYr=Year(Now) strMth=Month(Now) strDay = Day(Now) If Len(strMth) < 2 Then strMth="0"&strMth End If If Len(strDay) < 2 Then strDay="0"&strDay End If strDate=strDay&strMth&strYr On Error Goto 0 Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments strFileName=objArgs(0)
Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile=objFS.GetFile(strFileName) If objFile.Size < 5000000 Then 'i leave it to you to change it to bytes strNewName = Split(strFileName,".") objFS.MoveFile objFile.Path , objFile.ParentFolder & "\" & strNewName(0)&"-"&strDate&"."&strNewName(1) End If

Hey ghostdog, I've got somethin' to say! (Don't I always?)
<nitpick>'i leave it to you to change it to bytes Was 50 * 2 ^ 20 too much? Really? </nitpick>
objFS.MoveFile objFile.Name might be a better choice.

[url][/url], no. < a href></a >, yes. (See the .Name part in my last post)
Excluding the skin, everything is identical to before, bugs and all.

ghostdog, thanks a lot! When I try to run it, I get "Microsoft VBScript Compilation Error: Expected Statement." I did change part of it using Razor's correction.

I did change part of it using Razor's correction. Which is funny, because I don't remember posting code.
When I try to run it, I get "Microsoft VBScript Compilation Error: Expected Statement." I'm not getting an error. Check your copy/paste.
