Saving files with current dates

I am VERY new to this so please excuse a dumb posting. I want to run a script that allows be to save a file regularly at 23.59 each day. I have writen the script, but I need the file name for the file to be the currentdate each time it is saved e.g. 20041222.html

I believe this can be done with characters such as %curdate%.html but all that seems to happen is that windows uses this as the name.

Any suggestions

Your correct. As your description lacks the rest of your code I've to assume that you've missed to assign a value to the variable curdate?
Or something else I can't figure out without getting more details

Year>YYYY
Month>MM
Day>DD

Let>curdate=%YYYY%%MM%DD%
MessageModal>%curdate%.html

Untested!
