Hi,
We have to schedule an Batch file which connects to an FTP site and download files on the last working day of every month.

Our query is to calculate the weekday given an particular date of a month.

Please guide us on the above.

Regards
Sanjay

I think this might depend on regional settings to make things quick and easy.

On my XP box:



on my win2k box


Just extract the name from the output.

Other wise some kind of math calcualtion is going to have to be performed.

Or just have a separate text file with the start day of each month for the next few years or whatever, then just calcuate the difference.

download GNU coreutils and use the GNU date command

You found the right website -- just needed to look in a different place:
