DOS command question

[ashley75]

In DOS, how do you write a statement like this into DOS coding "if date= current date then copy whatever"

another word, I am looking for something like this

c:\if date =???? (where ??? is current date)

thanks,

Sounds like you are trying to do some scripting? Tell us your over all goal, and then maybe we could help you find a path to achieve it.

VBScript is the way to go.

Dim objFSO
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Enclose date in # signs to ensure it is treated as a date.
strDate = #04/17/07#

'Compare date to vairable and copy file as needed
If strDate = Date Then
	objFSO.CopyFile(sourcepath, destinationpath, True)
End If

I hope you find this post helpful.
