I want to make a program that remembers your birthday. In a extern file are the dates; for instance LIKE : Miki 07/06 . If you type in the program the date 07/06, i want the program to show : on 07/06, its miki's birthday

can someone give me a idea or script?
Microsoft has a habit of adding features to batch language with each new release of WINDOWS. Without knowing your OS, it's difficult to write a script that will run on your machine.

This may work:
Code: [Select]@echo off
set /p bdate=Enter Date mm/dd:
for /f "tokens=1-2" %%i in (bdate.txt) do (
if %bdate% EQU %%j echo It's %%i's birthday
)

bdate.txt would be the label of your external file.

Hope this gives you some ideas. 8-)Quote

Thank you for that BlackBerry. Actually I was trying to hint to the poster to be more forthcoming with information that is not a state secret. Unless this a continuing request spread over multiple threads, I'm just not sure it should be necessary to research information from past posts in order to respond to the current post.
