I have the following code (manipulated some code from a helpful soul out in cyberspace). What it is meant to do is to zip all .csv files in a directory and name the zip file with the current timestamp.
My problem - I have setup a scheduled task to execute the below code everyday. As you can see, I am going back a day each time the code is executed. Meaning, zipping the file today with yesterday's "day". When it runs on the 1st of every month, I obviously run into a problem. It will grab yesterday's day (which is fine) but the current month. How can I manipulate the code so that it checks if yesterday was the last day of the month and put the correct timestamp for the filename?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
