hi i have made a batch file which has two different date functions one is like 08272008 and another is 082708 : here is the whole batch file : ========================================= set Pdate=%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%%date:~10,4%%1 for /f "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do ( set my_month=%%i set /A my_day=%%j-1 set my_year=%%k ) set my_year=%my_year:~2,2% set X=%my_month%%my_day%%my_year% set copyme=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y /V echo. echo. echo. SET TQS="D:\ONCO\logs\batches\%x%" ::MAPPING DESTINATION PATH TO Z DRIVE WITH CONNECTED ON NEXT LOGON SWITCH net use Z: \\srv1\d$\files fruity/USER:user.com\fruit /PERSISTENT:YES :: ASKING USER TO ENTER PREVIOUS DAY'S DATE set /P d= PLEASE ENTER DATE : - set sor="Z:\Source\TQSA\%d%" IF /I %d% lss %pdate% GOTO DO ) ELSE goto :ERROR ) :DO SET TQS="D:\ONCO\logs\batches\%x%" cls "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x "%TQS%\TQS%X%HCF.zip" -o"%TQS%" -r d: PAUSE>NUL cls %COPYME% * "%sor%" ECHO. ECHO. ========================================== This batch file extracts from folder like 082708 and copies it to another destination on 08272008 folder. but the main limitation of this file is like i can't run this batch file on 08272008 date i must have to run it on 08282008 as the batch file searches the folder 082708 only if the current system date is 08282008. what do i need to add or edit to make it run on 08272008 and also on 08282008 together?
