Hi,
Total n00b here when it comes to basic batch scripting, I've attempted to put together a mini batch script that takes a text file and emails it to an address using the 'Blat' cmd line SMTP emailer.
Need a bit of help / advice from someone on how to make the script check the text file to see what it’s modified / created date is, and then only email it if the date matches the current day. I.e. if the script runs on Monday 01/01/2008, I want it to check the .txt file to see if it was modified / created on 01/01/2008, if it was continue with the rest of the script, if not then email a separate message stating that no file was found for 'today'.
Many thanks for any help (bear in mind I'm still learning all this stuff!
)
Copy of the script so far:
