Title: batch file in two parts
Post by: James Sitch on October 19, 2004, 09:35:08 AM

I have been asked t help write a batch file.
It comes in two parts.
Part two should only execute if part one finishes befoe 10pm.
How can I check the time from within the batch file and tell it to skip part two if part one finishes after 10pm?

Thank you,

James
