When I back up against another month it fails also.
Can the day of the week that corresponds to the date be returned as a variable?
The batch/vbs will accept any number of days (forward or back ) as a command line argument for the batch.
Echo and redirect (>) modifies the vbs files. The command line argument must include + or -
C:test>Display forbac.bat
@echo off
echo Wscript.Echo Now %1 > backday.vbs
CScript //nologo backday.vbs > back.txt
set /p back=<back.txt
set back=%back:~0,9%
echo Now%1=%back%
echo From Now %1 days
echo Wscript.Echo WeekdayName(Weekday(Now %1)) > day.vbs
cscript //nologo day.vbs > weekday.txt
set /p weekday=<weekday.txt
set weekday=%weekday:~0,3%
echo weekday%1=%weekday%
echo From Now %1 days
Output:
C:test> forbac.bat +130
Now+130=1/3/2011
From Now +130 days
weekday+130=Mon
From Now +130 days
Output:
C:test> forbac.bat -130
Now-130=4/18/2010
From Now -130 days
weekday-130=Sun
From Now -130 days
