Hi All, Its a long time since I wrote a batch file so please bear with.
I'm trying to set a variable within a batch file to the system date, actually what I really need is the month and day, but I'm not sure if that's possible. I tried (with no success): set var = date /t echo var I'm using this batch file to run the command line winzip utilities to go in and zip up about 2 GB of SQL Server backups and I want to use parts of the system date to name the resulting zip file. Maybe I should be using WSH but I've never used it before. If this isn't possible using a batch file can someone point me to a good WSH reference site?
