Create batch file that sees whether file exists and if not exits
if exist "%BackupPath%\%programName %\*_%date: ~4,2%%date :~7,2%%dat e:~12,2%.z ip" (
if not exist "%BackupPath%\%programName %\*_%date: ~4,2%%date :~7,2%%dat e:~12,2%.z ip" (
echo x=messagebox(zip file with latest date not avaialble)
) else (
goto :EOF
)
)
what will be the issue in the code??
poup up echo message not coming prperly.

I suspect this is pseudo-code we've all been dealing with in several open Qs by Bhavani V.
If he could be more forthcoming in answering Qs and keeping scope creep to a minimum it would be helpful.
Hell is he would listen to the repeated attempts people have made to get him to use [ code ] [ /code ] tags it would be helpful.
I mean this code obviously seems to be Pseudo-code:
I'm guessing he's thinking of "Net SEND" which is no longer functional.
the functionality could be duplicated to some extent a number of ways.
I prefer using straight CMD so something like this:
However, it could be done using Powershell calls or VBScript too.
We need Bhavani V. to work with us to properly scope and break apart his needs into a set of Qs designed to help him understand and create his total script, OR he needs to work with us to create the entire thing end to end in one go as a Gig (or, I guess, a single all-encompassing question, since Gigs went bye bye :( RIP Gigs :( )

Bhavi,
It would behoove you to read the responses and reply to them instead of continually posting additional questions.
I know you have been repeatedly told to use [ code ] [/code ] tags and the like, and giving may questions which are not answered by you.
I suspect you are not a native English speaker, perhaps you can tell us what your native language is?
If you explain this, then perhaps we can find another expert who might be kind enough to assist us in translating these messages between us.
What is your native language?
Ben

Seems you didn't read a lot of the messages again.
Even the first message you missed. I already told you, you were missing variables. Then the next message is about how you should fill in the variables. And then, you just ignored it.
If you ignore all or some messages, you will get nowhere.

Remove all "echo off" in the code, run again, show us output.
That's because batch file dates depends on system display settings, which is different on every system (could be d/M/y or mm-dd-yyyy whichever is preferred by the user, thereby sometimes creating a folder with / as a character)
Changing it to VBscript would be nicer (and make the script more readable).

office system settings date only i used in the code. so no issue in that. sorry i need in .bat file for office purpose.
You just started NOT READING AND LISTENING again. I told you before you will get nowhere if you do that.
I need the OUTPUT, as the DATE SETTINGS of YOUR PC or SERVER AFFECTS THE BATCH FILE OUTPUT and actually CAN'T CREATE FOLDERS if a "/" character is used.

If FULL, you're obviously missing all the variables.
