RyanVM Posted October 10, 2004 Author Posted October 10, 2004 About the date I think what we need to know is if hotfixes use date template from Regional and language settings.If so, then this code will solve the problemFOR /F %%I IN ('DATE /T') DO SET INSTALLDATE=%%IThe problem I see is that with the English version, DATE /T (or %DATE%) returns "Sun 10/10/2004" while for non-English versions, it doesn't put the day in front. Doing %DATE:~-10% fixes that because it takes the last 10 characters which appear to be the same for all languages.

RyanVM Posted October 10, 2004 Author Posted October 10, 2004 im not i just wanted to know if the placement for the files go the sameYeah, as long as the entries are in the correct section, it doesn't matter where in the section they are.
RyanVM Posted October 10, 2004 Author Posted October 10, 2004 Also, a little bird on my shoulder tells me a new version of nLite supporting my pack is coming soon
DigeratiPrime Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 This is sweet. I will have to try this tommorow.

I thought weird behavior were for non-english windows version.%DATE% is supposed to be a short date like mm/dd/yy and now it's the english version that is not predictable.Coding for Windows platform is all about dealing with exception.But we know that since long time ago.

Well, it's quite possible that the English version is the exception (I wouldn't have known that since it's the version I use ). It's also quite irrelevant. If -10 works for all instances, then we're set.Can some people using XP languages other than English confirm that for me? In a command prompt, type inecho %DATE:~-10%and post the results.

codejunkie Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 echo %DATE:~-10% Returns 11/10/2004Im, using a Corp-English installationecho %date% returns 11/10/2004 but seeing not everyones is the same, so the universal version is just great well done swgreed I think
a06lp Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 "echo %DATE:~-10%" returns "11.10.2004"actually, for me, it doesn't!My output is: 10/11/2004
Denney Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 It all depends on your regional settings (more specifically: Regional and language options -> Regional options -> Customize -> Date -> Short date format).For me %DATE% returns 11.10.04.
creopard Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 "echo %DATE:~-10%" returns "11.10.2004"actually, for me, it doesn't!My output is: 10/11/2004 German date format doesn't use slashes... it's standardized with dots
