Folder names should have the day like Monday Tuesday

[karthikkumar]

Dear Sir,
Kindly let me know the beyond compare script for day format.
We need to create new folder, Folder names should have the day – Monday Tuesday etc.. not the date. So that every week it will over write the last backup
We have created new folder %date% format.Kindly suggest us to proceed the same.

Please find the following beyond compare script.And please change the day format, Folder names should have the day – Monday Tuesday etc

option confirm:yes-to-all
load <default>
load create:rt D:\temp D:\Backup_%date%
sync create-empty mirror:left->right

Hello,

Beyond Compare scripting does not have a variable for the weekday name. The two variables supported in script are the full date (%date%) and time (%fn_time%).

To achieve what you are looking for, I would suggest setting up 7 Windows Scheduled Tasks. Each would call a different, but almost equal, script file. The Monday script would call ScriptMonday.txt:
option confirm:yes-to-all
load <default>
load create:rt "D:\temp" "D:\Backup_Monday"
sync create-empty mirror:left->right

While Tuesday would load the Tuesday destination folder. The task would then be scheduled to run weekly: the Monday task runs once a week on Mondays.

Create New Folder Script

Dear Sir,

Can we create folder with end number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and then back to this sequence to overwrite? May be dividing the number by 7?. Kindly help us to proceed further as soon as possible.

Thanks & Regards.

We do not have internal script variables for these naming conventions, but you can pass any arbitrary text on the command line. This could be "Monday" or "7"

Using: bcompare.exe "@c:\bcscript.txt" "Monday"

option confirm:yes-to-all
load <default>
load create:rt "D:\temp" "D:\Backup_%1"
sync create-empty mirror:left->right

This is the same basic strategy as before, but you would use 1 script with 7 different Windows Scheduled Tasks, each with a slightly different command line parameter. Each task would run on the respective day, once a week.
