HI there...

I need to name a folder with current date,"2007-07-16". I am able to achieve that with the date.
Now I wanted the folder name to have the "Day" such as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I've search around and couldn't get a solution. How can I achieve that?

Thanks.

vbscript has a function called Weekday that should help..
it will return a the day as a number 1-7 (the default is sunday = 1)

Example:

dayNo = Weekday(Date)

Actually what Parabellum suggested should get you on your way if you take a minute to see what he is suggesting.

Select Case Weekday(Date)
   Case 1
       WScript.Echo "Sunday"
   Case 2
       WScript.Echo "Monday"
End Select

May be I should adopt this.

I also tried weedayName, but it returns nothing.

But this will solve it.
weekdayname(Weekday(Date))

Thanks!
