Development Old Skool - DOS Batch Scripting Help

Hi all,

In need of a little help again. I have 2 already developed scripts daily.bat and weekly.bat

I am struggling to write a script which will do the following:

IF day NOT IN ('Saturday', 'Sunday') THEN
Run daily.bat
ELSIF day = 'Saturday' THEN
Run daily.bat
Run weekly.bat
ENDIF
EXIT

Any help on how I do this in DOS batch script appreciated.

Cheers

 

Download http://ww2.netnitco.net/users/cruth/cutpak13.zip you want DAYOFWK.COM from the archive.

Create a new batch file, backup.bat or whatever ...

all simple and should get the job done

 

I should add the script is not missing "if errorlevel 1 goto Sunday", this is always left as a last resort

 

Cheers for that, that is exactly what I need.

Thanks

 

In WinXP and some help from http://dostips.cmdtips.com/DtTipsStringManipulation.php I figured you can do the following:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
REM.-- Prepare the Command Processor
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

set daily=,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,
set weekly=,Sun,

REM.-- Extract the day into %day%
for /f %%a in ("%date%") do set day=%%a

if "!daily:%day%=!" NEQ "!daily!" echo run daily.bat
if "!weekly:%day%=!" NEQ "!weekly!" echo run weekly.bat

Enjoy
