Challenge !!!

[no_surrender]

Ok this is what I would like......

firstly i would like a batch file for windows xp which can take input from the user by asking for an occasion and create a folder inside the current directory giving the date the folder was created followed by the name i gave to the occasion. This is what i would like the file to look like........

yyyy_mm_dd_<occasion name>

i would be very impressed if someone were also able to make a birthday reminder that ran as a .cmd file whenever i logged on. I would like the file to find the user home directory before reading a reminder.txt file from the home directory before searching for the current date of lines in the text file, before telling me any reminders for that date in the cmd screen, if there isnt any entries the .cmd file should exit automatically.

Good luck ;D

are you looking for a batch or a script?

Surely this is a standard part of any of the gazillions of PIM's available, I can't help but wonder, purely cos I'm nosey, why you want a script(is what you need) that is so specific in how it runs\terminates.

flexibility -- and I think batch files are bastardized and weak. Using FSO and hell, lets get crazy and use ADO (access db), he could easily do this from any comp ...and then tag it to a webpage or excel or ...whatever your hearts desire.
