BC, you are making this harder than it needs to be. Years ago I did this sort of thing in assembler. There is a call in DOS that gives you what you need to know about the current date. Don't remember what it was, but it is also somewhere in the Visual Basic library. But just invoke DATE at the port or in a batch and it tells all. Somebody else showed how to parse the strings and SEPARATE it into the components.

you can't call DOS INTERRUPTS from NT's command line, and you can't parse strings in standard DOS batch files.Quote from: Geek-9pm on January 07, 2010, 04:06:39 PM
