Hi,

Can someone pinpoint whats wrong with the following?
I m trying to find if the string (path) contains the folder which has this month.

Code: Select all

month=thismonth
year=thisyear
let>folder=\\cab1\cab2\cab3\cab4\cab5 bke\cab6 new\09.01.2013
position>thismonth,folder,1,mRst
position>thisyear,folder,1,yRst
if>{(%mRst%>0) and (%yRst%>0)}
  'found folder of this month
  mdl>%folder%
endif

if i manually enter 09 and 2013 it works fine.

Code: Select all

month=thismonth
year=thisyear
let>folder=\\cab1\cab2\cab3\cab4\cab5 bke\cab6 new\09.01.2013
position>09,folder,1,mRst
position>2013,folder,1,yRst
if>{(%mRst%>0) and (%yRst%>0)}
  'found folder of this month
  mdl>%folder%
endif

Rather than Month= and Year= try Month> and Year>.

I've done this too with Month>, Day> and Year>.

Found the problem.
was coding in vb and realize...

month=thismonth

should have been month>thismonth

same with year.

ignore this post

Thanks JRL,
i found that out after reviewing it via the debugger line by line.
