OK, this is for you batch file wizards out there. I could do this in bash with no problem but DOS is ornery about date strings.
I move my logs (declude and IMail) off to a workstation that I use for scanning the logs. I can't log directly to the workstation because I work contract and frequently pack the box up and haul it to another job temporarily. I'm trying to create a DOS batch file that I can have run nightly that will use MOVE to move the files to the workstation drive (I have it mounted on the mail server with a drive letter for file moving ease). Problem is, I can't figure out how to make it move everything EXCEPT the current day's log files (sys####.txt and dec####.log). The DOS date command won't give me a clean "month+day" number to work with and the unix tools set doesn't seem to give a unix style date command to use for getting dates in the proper format. If I can get around the date problem I should be able to use 'move' or 'xcopy + del' to move the files I need over to the other box. Any help appreciated. -- Gerald V.
