Hi
I am looking for a script whic can check one file in the directory
and that particular file need to compare with current time and
if it's 20 mimutes less than current time the this script need to send an email

for example
current time in windows -- 12:30

in my c:\ dir i have the following files

test1.txt 12:00
sap.txt 12:10
reco.txt 12:30


this script need to chek for sap.txt file this file is less than 20mins to the current time
then this script need to send email

rdsfor /f "tokens=1*" %%a in ('time /t') do set a=%%a &LT;<-- current time
set b=%a:~0,2%:%a:~3,2% <<-- current time without extra *censored*
set /a c=%b%-20 <<-time minus minutes
set d="%c:~0,2%:%a:~3,2% PM" <-- set back to normal format
dir *.txt /a >>%temp%\2 & CLS <-- searches for .txt files in current directory
for /f "tokens=1*" %%a in ('findstr %d% %temp%\2') do echo %%a>>%temp%\3 find files with times 20 minutes ago
for /f "tokens=1*" %%a in ('type %temp%\d') do SEND YOUR EMAIL <--- use program or command to send email with email beeing %%a

for /f "tokens=1*" %%a in ('time /t') do set a=%%a
set b=%a:~0,2%:%a:~3,2%
set /a c=%b%-20
set d="%c:~0,2%:%a:~3,2% PM"
dir *.txt /a >>%temp%\2 & CLS
for /f "tokens=1*" %%a in ('findstr %d% %temp%\2') do echo %%a>>%temp%\3
for /f "tokens=1*" %%a in ('type %temp%\d') do SEND YOUR EMAIL

comparing time/date is tricky in batch. here's a vbscript

Code: [Select]Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\temp")
n=Now
For Each myFiles In objFolder.Files
If objFSO.GetExtensionName(myFiles) = "txt" Then
If DateDiff("n",myFiles.DateLastModified,n) <= 20 Then 'less than 20 minnutes
WScript.Echo myFiles
End If
End If
Next
usaage:
Code: [Select]@echo off
cscript /nologo myscript.vbs > newfile
rem send email
blat newfile -to <[emailprotected]> -server <server> ........

set /a c=%b%-20 <<-time minus minutes

you would have to use cacl's as a command. CACL"s is a command that lets you view and modify
files of your choice.
