How To Find The Day Of The Week In A Batch File (Command Prompt)

The following command can be used in the command prompt or batch file to find the day of the week and then do a check against that day to do another command:

for /F “tokens=1” %i in (‘date /T’) do @echo %i

You can then check if the day matches using an IF statement, such as the example below, which does something if the day is Friday:

for /F “tokens=1” %i in (‘date /T’) do @echo %i

IF %i=Fri(
goto FRIDAY)
ELSE(
goto ANOTHERDAY)

:FRIDAY
:ANOTHERDAY
