Things I've Learned : Creating a folder/file name based on a date time stamp in NT Shell Script (Batch)

Things I've Learned

for /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set datetimefolder=%%k%%i%%j

for /F "tokens=1,2,3 delims=: " %%i in ('time /t') do set datetimefolder=%datetimefolder%_%%i%%j%%k

echo DateTimeFolder=%datetimefolder%

will output something like:

20060516_1216PM

I prefer:

for /F "tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7* delims=.:^/^ " %%i in ("%date%.%time%") do (

SET _Timestamp=%%l%%j%%k%%m%%n%%o

REM pad hour if single digit

if "%%m" neq "" if %%m LSS 10 SET _Timestamp=%%l%%j%%k0%%m%%n%%o)
