Hi,

Not sure if this belongs in this area but hopefully you can help. I am writing today's date to a text file. For example, "20082907"

When I read it in from my script, it reads it as "20082907 " < There is an extra space.

Here is the code I am writing and reading.

Code that Writes to yesterday.txt:
CODE

For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do set date=%%c%%b%%a
echo %date% > yesterday.txt



Code that Reads from text file yesterday.txt
CODE

set /p yesterdaysdate= <yesterday.txt



I do not want this extra space. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
