asked on

datetime stamp

Utilizing wzzip, how would I write a script that plugs a system datetime stamp on the zip file name?

For example,

"c:\Program Files\WinZip\WZZIP.EXE" c:\docs<datetime stamp>.zip c:\*.doc

would produce:

c:\docs10-19-2004 03:00.zip

For this you will need a .vbs WSH script like so it will create the zip file for you.

'VBScript

DIM fso, NewsFile, oFS
  var = cSTR(now())
  var = replace(var, "/" , "-" )
  var = replace(var, ":" , "_" )
  var = replace(var, "  " , "~" )
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set NewsFile = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\docs"&var&".zip", True)
NewsFile.Close
