I want to write a batch file to do the following:
When the date equals a specific date, copy a certain file into a specific directory.
Can this be done?
Thanks!

The DATE command can only check the date and change the date; it cannot assign the result to a DOS environment variable.
If there is no other software, I guess you'll need to use QB or TC or the like to write a simple program.

Using commands like STRING and ASET, it's easy to assign the date and time. There is so much software under DOS; having no other software is impossible.
