Simple x basic help/question...
I want to:
1) change date to 05-15-2002 2) lunch program "C:\prog.exe" 3) change date back to todays date 4) compile code into an executable (.exe) I do not care what language is used as long as it's done... I picked old QBasic ... thinking it would be quick n easy... Here is what I have so far (code is almost the same for any basic...): Code:
CLS LET d$ = DATE$ PRINT "TODAY's date stored as: "; d$ SHELL "date 05-10-2002" PRINT ">>> executed date and set it to 05-5-2002 Check: date is "; DATE$ PRINT ">>> lunching program C:\prog.exe" SHELL "C:\prog.exe" PRINT ">>> program should be lunched by now!" PRINT ">>> reseting date to"; d$ SHELL "date d$" PRINT ">>> Date is now"; DATE$ PRINT "DONE!" Problems: 1) program fails to lunch - get "Bad command or file name" 2) when reseting date to one stored in d$ program waits for user input! instead of accepting the d$ string! Any help is much appreciate... open to ANY suggestions in regard on how to do this... Thank you...

Ahhh, QBasic was such a cool program. I used to use it in the early nineties when I was just starting to program
 With the date, i dont think there is any other way to use the date.com command. I think your best bet would be to search the net for a tiny DOS app that accepts a parameter to change the date without prompts. As for executing the .exe, first try placing it in the same directory as your .BAS file and call it without a path, that should work. My QBasic memory is a little shot, so that's the best I can do

Thx all...
QBasic was a istake althought I fixed the date problem via LET d$ = DATE$ SHELL "date 05-10-2002" //new DATE$ = d$ //back to current... but it just failed to executew another program... So I installed my VB and did it in about 10 min! URL
