adding dates to an existing filename

[k33]

I have a vbscript that checks one file and pulls any data out of that file into a new file and adds the current date to the filename. If the files are not downloaded everyday, the date needs to be modified to show the date range of the files. example: c:\test file\20030525-20030528.
Any suggestions on how to easily accomplish this. Thanks.

If you are using the file object contained within the scripting librabry the file object has a property called DateCreated. You can use this property as you are looping through the files to get the min and max dates of your range and then apply then to the end of you file name.

I am working on your suggestion, thanks. However, the DateCreatedObject also includes the time. Is it possible to have it only display the date?

Just use the FormatDate Function to remove the time information from the date.
