Answer» hello
i would like to know how can i decrement my VAR %day%
actually i have the day of today in this var and i would like the day before
set day =%DATE:~13,2% ----->today
set filename =%date:~5,4%%date:~10,2%%day%
what should i do to decrement %day% from one day
thanks in advanceTry this:
set /a day =%date:~13,2%-1
Are you SURE 13,2 is correct? Potential problem EXISTS on the first day of the month. Batch language does not do date arithmetic.
Hope this helps. o thanks but as u said there is still a problem with the first day of the month because there is no 0 of may or june
how do u SOLVE this type of problem usually???Personally I would use VB Script. It has great date handling functions and is a better solution on Windows machines. You can get more info on VB Script from:

Good luck.
