Code: [Select]if "%filedate%" == "%cdate%" goto run
if not "%filedate%" == "%cdate%" goto skip
Remove spaces in IF tests. They should not be there. You are comparing "%filedate%"[space] with [space]"%cdate%" which will never be true.
It must be me but my program is STILL not running as I would like it to run.
If the filedate is equal to the cdate then it should goto skip unfortunately whether the dates in either files are equal or not it still goes to run. Below is the corrected code what is wrong with it??


Setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
For /f "delims=" %%a in ('date /t') do set cdate=%%a
Set /p filedate=<%LOCDIR%\date.txt
ECHO %cdate%>%LOCDIR%\file.txt


if "%filedate%"=="%cdate%" goto skip
if not "%filedate%"=="%cdate%" goto run

:run
echo %PGRM% is updating to the LATEST version.
echo Please don't close window, the database will open once it has been updated.
copy %SRVDIR%\%PGRM% %LOCDIR%\%PGRM%
DEL %LOCDIR%\date.txt
echo %cdate% >> %LOCDIR%\date.txt
START /MAX %MSACC% %LOCDIR%\%PGRM%
goto end

:skip
echo Starting %PGRM%
START /MAX %MSACC% %LOCDIR%\%PGRM%
goto end
