DOS batch file problem - poss W98 solution?

[justy]

The problem I have is quite simple.

I want the system to automatically copy files from a data directory to a specified directory each month.

i.e.
I want to have 12 directories ( Jan - Dec ), and have a batch file that runs from the autoexec.bat to automatically copy files from one directory ( excel ) to one of the other directories ( Jan - Dec ), depending on the month value in the date.

Or if there's a different or easier way to do it, I'm open to suggestion.

Thanks in advance, Justy.

I looked into something similiar before, & unfortunately couldn't come up w/a way for Win9X DOS to use the current date as variables (there's probably some way). But WinNT/2K's DOS did have a way -- on Winmag's site under "Batch files". Toward the bottom of this page:

Cheers BFlurie,

I couldn't find anything on it myself. There has to be something out there though, I'll have to keep looking.
I'm limited to W98 though.

Thanks all the same, Justy.

Hehe,

I've been playing with it all day. I've only came back to sysopt in the last 30 minutes or so. I got a great link off it to download a pile of batch files to play with or modify. Most of them are dos 3.3 - 6.22. but I'll stumble across something.

Thanks again, Justy.
