Good Morning.

Well what is going to be authoring that line of code? I am not aware of a NOTEPAD allowing dynamic statements to be generated.

You could have a server side script that receives a request for the the batch file, and it authors a bat on the fly, and displays a link back to where the file is located to run.

Notepad does have the .log function, but .log will not execute a .bat.

Please post back.

is it possible to set the current date in the .bat instead of literally type it.

Sample:

@echo off
START "C:\cyware\retail\jobqueue\bin" pos_mallrep.exe 20131030 1 c:\rockwell

Zip is a compression. You have to code the zip!
