Vista - Date

Is there a vbs code that returns today's date?

I want to return the date in the form, "June 24" (no year).

Thanks,
Larry

The Now() function returns the current date/time. You can use other
functions to format as desired. For example:

Wscript.Echo MonthName(Month(Now())) & " " & Day(Now())

Displays the current date in the format you requested.

Wscript.Echo MonthName(Month(Now())) & " " & Day(Now())

Richard,

That's great, thank you.

One other thing: How would I adjust this to get the date prior to the
current date?

I've tried inserting "-1" in different parts of the code and can't get it.

I got it, very simple:

Wscript.Echo MonthName(Month(Now())) & " " & Day(Now()-1)

as 1 July or even worse, on 1 January. Fortunately cscript has a full set of
date arithmethic functions such as DateAdd or DateDiff. I recommend you
download the helpfile script56.chm from the Microsoft site to see how
they're used.

Yesterday = Date() - 1
WScript.Echo MonthName(Month(Yesterday)) & " " & Day(Yesterday)
I endorse that recommendation!

Thanks.

dangerous problem that the date could change between the two calling
instances of the now function.
