DOS not support environment variables DATE and TIME, only NT
this code work for me, DATE format: "Current date is Wed 06-23-2010"

Code: Select all

@echo on

echo.|date|find /i "sat"|if not errorlevel 1 >nul goto sate
echo.|date|find /i "sun"|if not errorlevel 1 >nul goto sund
echo.|date|find /i "mon"|if not errorlevel 1 >nul goto mond
echo.|date|find /i "tue"|if not errorlevel 1 >nul goto tues
echo.|date|find /i "wed"|if not errorlevel 1 >nul goto wedd
echo.|date|find /i "thu"|if not errorlevel 1 >nul goto thur
goto frid
