From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew S. Baker Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2014 10:28 AM To: ntsysadm Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] setting month value in a dos batch A s MBS pointed out, you're truncating the %DATE% in the wrong place. Here are two easier ways to do this, without labels is: ECHO off SET MONTH2=%DATE:~4,2% IF "%MONTH2"=="01" SET MONTH3=Jan IF "%MONTH2"=="02" SET MONTH3=Feb IF "%MONTH2"=="03" SET MONTH3=Mar IF "%MONTH2"=="04" SET MONTH3=Apr IF "%MONTH2"=="05" SET MONTH3=May IF "%MONTH2"=="06" SET MONTH3=Jun IF "%MONTH2"=="07" SET MONTH3=Jul IF "%MONTH2"=="08" SET MONTH3=Aug IF "%MONTH2"=="09" SET MONTH3=Sep IF "%MONTH2"=="10" SET MONTH3=Oct IF "%MONTH2"=="11" SET MONTH3=Nov IF "%MONTH2"=="12" SET MONTH3=Dec 1: SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION 2: SET MONTH2=%DATE:~4,2% 3: FOR %%M IN ("Jan 01" "Feb 02" "Mar 03" "Apr 04" "May 05" "Jun 06" "Jul 07" "Aug 08" "Sep 09" "Oct 10" "Nov 11" "Dec 12") DO ( 4: SET MMM=%%~M 5: IF "%MONTH2%"=="!MMM:~-2!" SET MONTH3=!MMM:~0,3! 6: ) Pay attention to the fact that there are only 6 lines in the second section. Also, you need that SETLOCAL command to make it as concise as possible. If someone has their regional settings different from yours, then this might not work.
