Update batch file version

Let's say I have a batch file called somefile_old.bat. Online there is a new version called somefile_new.bat. How do I check if there is a new version online from somefile_old.bat, and if there is, download it?

with pure batch you can check if the version is newer only after you donload the file and compare both (you can use bitsadmin or beter wget ) . As it is a batch file it will no take long time and will be may be the fastest way..

  1. Put a hash of somefile_new.bat somewhere.
  2. Calculate the hash of somefile_old.bat.
  3. Compare the two.
  4. If they're not the same, then download the new version and deal with the old one.
