Need to create a script with [week day] variable

It depends on the timezone setting of your localhost.  Run this command and post the result:

  date/t

In the U.S. (for example), the day-of-week can be determined with this macro:

  @echo  %date:~0,3%

WeekdayName function in VBS will return the name for the current day of the week. Here's more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/00201has(v=vs.85).aspx

For example, if the directory names were as follows:

   C:\backup\Sun
   C:\backup\Mon
   C:\backup\Tue
   C:\backup\Wed
   C:\backup\Thu
   C:\backup\Fri
   C:\backup\Sat

then the command (in the U.S.) would be simply:

   copy  "c:\temp\1.txt"  "c:\backup\%date:~0,3%"

WScript.Echo Weekday(Now(),0)

1-Sunday
2-Monday
3-Tuesday
4-Wednesday
5-Thursday
6-Friday
7-Saturday

If you post the result of this date command, showing your local date format, I will derive the macro for you, which you can then plug into the command in my previous post.

  date/t

To elaborate on my first post. Here's the code that will print the day of the week for the current system date.

iDay = WeekDay( Date )
WSCript.Echo WeekdayName( iDay )

It will return full day names (i.e. Monday, Tuesday, etc.). It should not have any regional issues.

The following is based on the example you provided. It will copy data from C:\Temp to C:\Backup\<weekday>  
(where <weekday> is whatever day it is>

Const OverWrite = True

strSource="C:\Temp\"
strDest="C:\Backup\" & WeekdayName(WeekDay(Now))

set objFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFolder strSource, strDest, OverWrite

Select allOpen in new window

the result of running the command

  date/t


is:


16/02/2011

Thks

I did try the example :
------------------------------------------------------------------
Const OverWrite = True

strSource="C:\Temp\"
strDest="C:\Backup\" & WeekdayName(WeekDay(Now))

set objFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFolder strSource, strDest, OverWrite
------------------------------------------------------------------


 but this will copy the contents of c:\temp\*.* to c:\backup\[week_day]\
how can I do to specify a File?, i did try the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Const OverWrite = True

strSource="C:\Temp\1.txt"
strDest="C:\Backup\" & WeekdayName(WeekDay(Now))

set objFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile strSource, strDest, OverWrite
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but this will copy the file to c:\backup\[week_day]
I need to copy the file without renaming to c:\backup\[week_day]\1.txt

Thks again.

Const OverWrite = True

strSource="C:\Temp\1.txt"
strDest="C:\Backup\" & WeekdayName(WeekDay(Now)) & "\1.txt"

set objFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile strSource, strDest, OverWrite

Ok both solutions works good, time to raise the bet:

is there a way to check the file was correctly copied?, I mean compare source and deststination, and show a message "file succefully copyed to xxx" or "file not copied, check for errors"

thanks a LOT!
