Subject: [IMail Forum] Incrementing batch command
Before I re-invent the wheel, I would like to know how others handle the
changing of a command line argument within a batch file so it can run
each day without manual editing. Huh, what did he say?
Situation: Scott's DOMLIST program (others as well) uses an argument of
the log file name. I would like to schedule a batch file to run each day
and email me the results. Each day the argument would change. Example:
today domlist.exe sys0731.txt; tomorrow domlist.exe sys0801.txt.
Obviously the only thing that changes is the MMDD in the middle of the
file name. Has anyone developed a method of handling this? Thanks.
John
