Batch Files : Date Stamp in a filename
Ive been asked this a number of times this past month.... How do I get the date into a filename in a batch file?
Most people try using the %date% variable. Which will not work as you cannot have /'s in the filename.
So, try this:
for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%i in ("%date%") do set datestring=%%i%%j%%k
You can now use %datestring%.txt as the filename
Note: The delim character changes depending on your locale. Eg. deliims=. for Germany. You may want to change the filename to %%k%%j%%i to get multiple logs sorted in order within Windows Explorer sorted by YearMonthDate
