We receive some logs on our windows box via FTP on a daily basis, in the 'logs' directory. I would like to check for missing log files and add their name to a textfile.

Something like...

Create C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt
Check if C:\logs\abc_system1_ydate exists (if not, add this filename to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt)
Check if C:\logs\def_system1_ydate exists (if not, add this filename to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt)
Check if C:\logs\ghi_system1_ydate exists (if not, add this filename to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt)
Check if C:\logs\abc_systemx5_ydate exists (if not, add this filename to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt)
Check if C:\logs\def_systemx5_ydate exists (if not, add this filename to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt)
Check if C:\logs\ghi_systemx5_ydate exists (if not, add this filename to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt)
Check if C:\logs\abc_system6_ydate exists (if not, add this filename to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt)
Check if C:\logs\def_system6_ydate exists (if not, add this filename to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt)
Check if C:\logs\ghi_system6_ydate exists (if not, add this filename to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt)
Close C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt

Some other details:

1. I need to use ydate (currentdate-1), and the date format is YYMMDD (e.g. 080207)
2. The VBScript should check directory C:\logs for the above files, and appends missing filenames to C:\missingfiles_ydate.txt

Many Thanks,
SunnyK

What have you tried so far. We help you write the script. I general we don't write the script for you.
