troubleshooting Question
Script to rename file based on date
asked on
I need to schedule a script to run each day that checks a specific UNC location for a file, based on the current date, and then renames the file. The file to check would be for the next day, so as an example, today is 200430 (YYMMDD) and so the script would need to look for file (tomorrow's date) 200501.log_PROCESSED. If the file is found then it needs to rename to 200501.log. I'd also like to manually run a version of this script that also is able to check more than one day into the future and rename. So on execution it can ask how many days to check. If I enter 3 then it will check for and rename 200501.log_PROCESSED, 200502.log_PROCESSED and 200503.log_PROCESSED.
