Issue with IF statement
Posted: 10 Jun 2011 10:50
Hi. I'm new to working with Batch files and I seem to be having an issue with this If statement. This is a pretty basic backup script but the idea is I want to do a full backup mirroring a directory every day and then save a unique version of the database files every Saturday.
No matter what %dow% is, the IF statement is evaluating as true. I even echo %dow% at the end to confirm that it's getting set properly and it does seem to be.
I appreciate any help. Thanks!

Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
FOR /F "TOKENS=1* DELIMS= " %%A IN ('DATE/T') DO SET Today=%%B
FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%A IN ('TIME/T') DO SET Now=%%A
set month=%Today:~0,2%
set day=%Today:~3,2%
set year=%Today:~6,4%
set hour=%Now:~0,2%
set minute=%Now:~3,2%
set amPm=%Now:~6,2%

FOR /f %%a in ('date /t') do set dow=%%a
if %dow%=="Sat" goto SAT else goto END
::Also tried if %dow%==Sat and got the same results.
:SAT
