Hi,
I'm trying to compare 2 hour but i don't find the correct script.
I'm trying to test the excution of one aplication with a flag. i like check
the flag and test if the creation time of this (flag.txt) it's 6 horas minor
to delete the file or retry it.
The problem it's that i can compare the system time with the time of the
file flag.txt

I'm a newbie in script. I think it's easy but... i'm too clumsy to find
where i have the problem...

Can you me???

P.D: Sorry for me poor english

Unfortunately your post is not clear enough to give you
a good answer. I recommend you ask a friend with good
English skills to you reword it.

i'm go to try explain it.
I want to do a script that it test the hour when a file was created.
i'm runnig a batch with multiples treaths and i want to do one file to use
this as one semafhore.

runing job==>
if file == exist then
see the creation hour of file
if the creation hour < 6 hours (local time) then
delete file and run batch
if not exit
if file >< exist then
create file and run job

My problem is see and compare the file creation time

I hope that i explained, and sorry for your time

OK - try this batch file:
#@echo off
#setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
#set Semaphore=d:\Data\Semaphore.txt
#
#echo> c:\test.vbs Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
#echo>> c:\test.vbs Set file = objFSO.GetFile("%Semaphore%")
#echo>> c:\test.vbs wscript.quit (DateDiff("h", file.DateLastModified, Now)
^> 6)
#
#if exist "%Semaphore%" (
# cscript //nologo c:\test.vbs
# if !ErrorLevel! NEQ 0 goto :eof
# del "%Semaphore%"
# call batchfile.bat
#) else (
# echo. > %Semaphore%
# call batchfile.bat
#)

I placed a # to mark the beginning of each line. You must
remove them before running the batch file.

Thank you very much for your time. Unfortunately your script don't work in my
enviroment. I received error in execution.
I remove all "#" tag. When i execute this i receive no valid carater for
"@". When i delete this, i found error Expected statement in line 3.

i'm trying to declare tehe variable, but i have too much problems. In your
enviroment work fine???

You have to post YOUR version of the file, without # characters,
so that I can see what you did.

i use the same script. I only modified the batchfile that you use:

@echo off <==The @ caracter make me one error
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

# Declaramos cual es el fichero que sera la variable
set Semaphore=C:\scripts\prueba\Semaphore.txt <== I use your file in other
path


# echo> c:\test.vbs <=== i'm trying in the same line all and in other line
the
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") <==object, actually
is in only one line
#echo>> c:\test.vbs <== same
Set file = objFSO.GetFile("%Semaphore%")
#echo>> c:\test.vbs
wscript.quit (DateDiff("h", file.DateLastModified, Now)^> 6)

if exist "%Semaphore%"
(
cscript //nologo c:\test.vbs
if !ErrorLevel! NEQ 0 goto :eof
del "%Semaphore%"
call batchfile.bat <== to try execution i call batchfile.bat that run notepad
) else
(
echo. > %Semaphore%
call batchfile2.bat <== to try execution i call batchfile.bat that run
iexplore
)

i call the script test.vbs like in your script. I'm trying in s.o xp and in
one server with w2k3 sp2

All files are in the same folder c:\scripts\prueba.

Thank you very much for your patience and time. i know i'm very clumsy with
scripting

Two comments:
1. I suspect that you saved the file as a .vbs file. This won't
work. You must save it as a .bat file.
2. You still have lots of # characters in the script. You must
remove all of them.

If you still have a problem, remember to post your version
of the file.

Hi, thank you very much. The script don's work by the "^" caracter. I've
delete thecaracter and work fine.

I did not know why you call a test.vbs. I understand all now.

I'm really thankfull for your (and script).
