   Date arithmetics in batch is a bit too hardcore for me, so I tend to   
   "cheat" and use powershell or vbscript for that. Here's how to get   
   yesterday's date in the format you prefer, in one line:   
      
   for /f %%n in ('powershell -Command "(Get-Date).AddDays(-1)|Get-Date   
   -Format 'yyyyMMdd'"') do set mydate=%%n   
      
   Just change the format string to match your particular locale. Change   
   the "-1" the number of days you wan to calculate backwards.
