Daily Batch file to create new fold

Comment:
I need a batchfile to create a new folder daily. The folder is named using the same naming convention every day, the number just increases by 1.
Ex:
Folder001 Folder002 Folder003
This goes on until we reach Folder999, then it goes back to Folder001.
The below batch does the job saving the last generated number into FNUM.TXT in the batch folder. You have to edit the statement
MD "Folder%N%"
replacing Folder with your naming convention.
:: FNUM.BAT Usage: FNUM @echo off if not exist %~dpn0.txt ( set N=1 ) else ( set /P N=<%~dpn0.txt ) set M=%N% if %M% lss 100 set N=0%N% if %M% lss 10 set N=0%N% MD "Folder%N%" set /A M+=1 if %M% gtr 999 set M=1 Echo.%M%> %~dpn0.txt for %%j in (N M) do set %%J= :: End_Of_Batch
