   This is a script I wrote in crayon just now.   
   Actually I shredded a different script to simplify it.   
      
      
   If you run it on a weekend it will supply the previous Fridays date,   
   otherwise it will give the current date.   
      
   :: Date backward and skipping weekends   
   @echo off   
   set qty=%1   
   set separator=%~2   
   if "%~1"=="" set qty=0   
   echo >"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" s=DateAdd("d",%qty%,now)   
   echo>>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" d=weekday(s)   
   echo>>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs" WScript.Echo year(s)^&_   
   echo>>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs"         right(100+month(s),2)^&_   
   echo>>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs"         right(100+day(s),2)^&_   
   echo>>"%temp%\%~n0.vbs"         d   
   for /f %%a in ('cscript //nologo "%temp%\%~n0.vbs"') do set result=%%a   
   del "%temp%\%~n0.vbs"   
   endlocal& (   set "YY=%result:~0,4%"   
                  set "MM=%result:~4,2%"   
                  set "DD=%result:~6,2%"   
                  set "daynum=%result:~-1%"   
                  )   
   :: if the daynum is a weekend then run the batch file again to get the friday   
   set "weekend="   
   if %daynum% EQU 1 set /a weekend=qty - 2   
   if %daynum% EQU 7 set /a weekend=qty - 1   
   if defined weekend %0 %weekend%   
      
   set "day=%YY%%separator%%MM%%separator%%DD%"   
   echo variable %%day%% is set to "%day%" (without the quotes)   
   echo variable %%YY%% is set to %YY%   
   echo variable %%MM%% is set to %MM%
