Thought someone might find this handy.

Here is a simple batch file that can be used with the script plugin or Windows Task scheduler if you want to perform an action only on a specific day.

The echo and pause statements for each day can be removed they were just for testing.

Code:

@echo off

for /f %%a in ('date /t') do set DAY=%%a
if %DAY%==Mon goto :mon
if %DAY%==Tue goto :tue
if %DAY%==Wed goto :wed
if %DAY%==Thu goto :thu
if %DAY%==Fri goto :fri
if %DAY%==Sat goto :sat
if %DAY%==Sun goto :sun

:mon
:: put your processing here
echo %day%
pause
exit

:tue
:: put your processing here
echo %day%
pause
exit

:wed
:: put your processing here
echo %day%
pause
exit

:thu
:: put your processing here
echo %day%
pause
exit

:fri
:: put your processing here
echo %day%
pause
exit

:sat
:: put your processing here
echo %day%
pause
exit

:sun
:: put your processing here
echo %day%
pause
exit

This was only tested on XP as I "don't do Vista"

Sweetness!!!

I think I will open up a Scripts section so we can get a good list of ideas and things people do with the Script Plugin.

I just registered and am necro'ing this thread just because the OP helped me out greatly with a batch I was scribbling out.  The solution I was looking at was a lot more complicated than this little elegant piece.

Good work.

Please post your finished work when you are done; I'd like to see what you're working on...Besides, I'm sure the next guy would appreciate having your example.
