How can I get a VB script to run on a particular day? 2

[ukkcbeard]

Hi All,
I have a VB script I need to run on a customer network to clear out temp files, I have the script together however what I need is lines in the script to check the system date and if the date is either the 14th or the 28th of the month then to continue processing. Any other day the script should exit.

The customer does not want to use scheduled tasks hence i need it in the script itself.

Cheers

Have a look at the Day function:

Id Day(Date) Mod 14 <> 0 Then WScript.Quit

Hope This Helps, PH.

OOps, sorry for the typo:

If Day(Date) Mod 14 <> 0 Then WScript.Quit

Genius!! Thanks very much.... Works a treat! If I wanted to add the 28th (So it runs twice a month) how would I record that?

Cheers

The script will cope with the 28th 'as is' (because it does a check on the remainder of (day number of the date)/14, which will equal 0 on either 14th or 28th and won't quit the script).
