Re: batch file scripting

that only takes 2 lines :)))

C:\>set f=myfile_%date:~10,4%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2% C:\>echo %f%
myfile_2006-07-19

seriously though.

Jared, and others, have already mentioned using perl and cygwin. Perl works great between linux and windonts. I use the same script to monitor the alertlog on windows and linux. if you really want to use a batch script, download the win32 unix ports of grep, sed, awk, cat, wc, tail, tee.... I have a lot of them and used to write some interesting scripts. They were easy to install (i.e. copy ) and eased the pain of cli. the downside is they're only "duct tape". I don't think they're updated anymore so it buys you some time until the "new guy" takes over your scripts ;)

post or email what you want to translate. This is a great place for help.
