If you need to calculate this future date on a regular basis this is actually quite difficult even when processing the output from "DATE /T" using "Windows Scripting Host" or some other extension to Windows Batch. Try Microsoft Development Network forums.

If the date just comes from visually reading a calendar, can you post the Batch File highlighting where the date is needed and explain how you expect to pass the date to the Windows Batch script - and in what format.

Hi,
Let me clarify

I have a dos batch file which processes a text file and generates a .csv output file. I want to append the next Saturday date to the output file name.
Right now I am able to append the current date by using the below mentioned logic

Code:

set Pdate=%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2% {setting current date to variable}
-outputFile %OUTDIR%\AglItemMaster_"%PDATE%".csv

now I want to pass next saturday date in place of current date.
Kindly help.
A quick response will be really helpful.
