I've got the correct commands to determin the day of week in a DOS bat file   
   but am having trouble interrogating the variable in order to do some   
   additional processing in Win XP.   
   Can someone have a look and please advise.   
      
   :CHK_DOW   
   setlocal   
   for /f "delims=" %%a in ('wmic path win32_localtime get dayofweek /format:list   
   ') do for /f "delims=" %%d in ("%%a") do set %%d   
   echo day of the week : %dayofweek%   
   IF %dayofweek% > 5   
    REN O:\Input\Orders\RS\ups50ords.txt O:\Input\Orders\RS\ups51ords.txt   
    REN O:\Input\Orders\RS\ups50ords.bkp O:\Input\Orders\RS\ups50ords.txt   
   :END   
   endlocal   
      
   The 'IF %dayofweek% > 5' never seems to be executed and the rest of the file   
   commands are ignored.   
   Am I not able to interrogate the variable in the way I've shown?   
   I want to execute two rename commands when the bat routine is run on a   
   Saturday or Sunday only.   
   I can't use the endlocal until I'm finished using teh variable elsewhere in   
   the BAT file, correct?   
      
   Thanks,   
   Walter
