check to see if variable entered is .txt file

[Joanlong]

NewUser,

I changed the name of a personal.doc file  to personal.txt
 
Notepad would not open the personal.txt  file.
 
Error message:
 
<<"The format must be ascii (text) before notepad can open personal.txt.
 
Changing the name of a file does not change the format.">>

Help?

p.s.  When the Original Poster checks  for the .txt extension of a file, the .txt extension does not prove the file is a text file. So be careful.

And that has what exactly to do with the question, Bill? (I thought you were banned?)

Like when the date variable has been checked and is valid, I'd like to pass it back into the batch program.

Batch will  check all dates and anything that needs to be done.

Vbs is not needed.

Strongly suggest ignoring "Joanlong" who is a troll.
