how to get next saturday 'Date' in DOS batch file

Hey Salmon.
You are getting help from VBscript or windows script.

Is it fair?

Curious. This post and it's thinly veiled passive sentence form reinforce my suspicions.

Please restrict yourself to on-topic, useful posts.

I have had the same suspicions myself. When the axe falls it should remove at least two heads.

i don't know the details, but why is it not fair ? vbscript or other decent languages that knows how to calculate dates like that does the job. There is no prize for using only batch. Nobody is going to give you money using only batch. Are you greg/bill?

Are youl?

The people using more than one current login would  have the same
IP address.  The Computerhope staff has access  to the IP addresses.

Why the undue concern? 

I have seen no damage by Vishuvishal.

There appears to be an Inhouse Computerhope Bully Squad.

Victoria and Vishuvishal  are not the same person.

Only Victoria and Vishuvishal have been logged on at the same time.

Their IP address for Victoria and Vishuvishal  indicates they are not the same person.

LOL, well, if we needed a post to confirm our suspicions, that would be it.

Say What?

Are we Off Topic?

set Pdate=%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%

C:test>type  sat.bat
@echo off

SET /a SatDate=%DATE:~7,2% +%1

echo SatDate=%SatDate%

Output:

C:test>sat.bat 5
SatDate=21

So, "RoyBailey", will that script work anywhere in the world?

ST,


My solution for finding next Saturday is with batch.  ST does not use batch.

The Original Poster will decide which method works best for his use.

The readers will make the same choice

My solution will work anywhere in the world with slight and easy modification.

One line of code instead of several lines.

My solution for finding next Saturday is with batch.

But it doesn't find the following Saturday, unless you tell it how many days there are until next Saturday! (Is this guy for real?)

ST does not use batch.

THis is false as well.

RoyBailey is actually Billrich, the banned troll. Banned for repeatedly posting misleading, wrong and false "solutions" and abusing forum members. And for evading the ban by rejoining using a proxy server.

ST,

Your Staturday solution is great.

The Original Poster and the readers will decide what works best for them.


It is good the Original Poster and the readers have a choice.

Have a good day and thanks for the kind words.

[Salmon Trout]

RoyBailey, you are one of the most unpleasantly stupid imbeciles it has ever been my misfortune to encounter. I see you shirk any discussion of your "code". The OP has a "choice" between: code that works and your lunatic nonsense, which you posted a long while after this very touching message:

Thanks a lot  Salmon!!!
You ROCK!!!!!! Ban-cha
Issue resolved.

I fear that ComputerHope's effectiveness will be gravely compromised until some method of permanently banning Billrich is found.
