batch

I am in the process of setting up a batch script to do a specified action if the script was run on a weekday, and an alternate action if run on the weekend.

I am almost completely unfamiliar with writing batch scripts, but I know how to write my entire script except the logic I describe above. Can someone please answer both if it is possible, and if it is at least a framework of how to implement it. Thanks in advance.
