Windows 98 batch file

Comment:

Hi... I need to use FIND on a file to pull out all lines that contains today's date, but I cannot figure out in Win '98 how to capture the date in an environment variable and trim it to a format that I can use with FIND. I had this script running in Win2K, but the string manipulation stuff is very different and won't work in '98. Any pointers would be very helpful... Arthur

This will work in some 9x, depending on language, region, date layout and a few other things: ::== D9.bat @echo off echo.|date>datevar.bat echo.|time>timevar.bat echo set DATEvar=%%4>current.bat call datevar echo set DAYvar=%%3>current.bat call datevar echo set TIMEvar=%%3>current.bat call timevar :: DONE ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
