Gdate

ok, I how do I ask this:

I remember asking about network performance monitor, ok have been using the record option for somethings. im having these charts exported to a folder in one of the drives EX: (c:\bandwidth\weekof_gdate) but i want the folder to have the Gdate (like in the EX:) put at the end of the file name. I think i should post the script i have, but tomorrow sometime during the day i should have it posted.

Before i run the script that goes through all the charts and exports them, i have this one in the beginning --
createdir>c:\bandwidth\weekof
once the whole script is complete i want it to put the gdate at the end of the folder like so (weekof_gdate) in the end of the day i should see (weekof_10_18_04).

Regards,
mdurt

If your Operating System is Windows9X then change

From:
Let>COMSPEC=Cmd.exe

To:
Let>COMSPEC=command.com

Be sure to remove all trailing spaces

I have this one

Month>MM
Day>DD
Year>YY
CreateDir>c:\bandwidth\weekof_%MM%_%DD%_%YY%

but the problem is it makes a second folder weekof_date

I want the script to add the date to the existing folder weekof_

Ok new problem

Ok the script works great but now it wont change the folder if the folder is being shared.

This is how it goes the: script runs putting these charts into the c:\bandwidth\weekof folder

at the end of the whole script

i put a script to change the folder (weekof) to = (weekof_date)
the good thing is it puts all the charts into the new folder
but that folder isnt being shared on the network.

I am confused about what you are doing.

Your first posting sounded like you wanted to make new folders for each week date. Your recent postings sound like you are just renaming existing folders.

Perhaps you are doing both?

Would be good to see the script with explanation.
