The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Additional help with my batch script to check a file's date prior to sending...

Asked by Nicola_Bourne in Windows Batch Scripting

Tags:

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. (with lots of help from you guys on here I must say - thanks so far)

Need a bit of help / advice from someone on how to make the script check the text file to see what its 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! )
