i dont think you can compare dates using batch file.
better use C/C++ or vb. |

you could try writting in vbs instead, and call the vbs from your bat file.
vbs have greater support for date comparison |

Old school batch programming. Things were not as easy and GUI friendly as OO.
 CODE @echo off if %DATE:~10,4%%DATE:~4,2%%DATE:~7,2% LSS 20091104 goto else echo "bigger" goto endif :else echo "smaller" :endif |
