Adding or subtracting days from current date

[anand1773]

Hi,

I'm writing an batch file to create report

In the batch file iam passing two arguments:startdate and finishdate

Ex: startdate=07-sep-2009 finishdate=07-sep-2011

I need to have script that takes command line argument as input and gives me out currentdate last year and current date next year as mention above example.

currentdate-1 year & currentdate+ 1year

For example if I pass argument as 07-sep-2010 to batch script I should get ouput as startdate=07-sep-2009 finishdate=07-sep-2011.

Could any one please help?.

Regards,
Anand

here's the easier way without all maintaining all that batch date workarounds from jeb's link

download coreutils for windows, then use the date command

Code: Select all

c:\test> gnu_date.exe -d "1 year ago"
c:\test> gnu_date.exe -d "1 year"
