I want to write a dos batch file to change the name a file from its original name to a timestamp (e.g., the key command would be:
ren file.txt mmddhhmm.txt so if the .bat file runs at 1:30 pm on Dec. 6 the file's new name would be 12061330.txt).

You may search for a solution (there have been several in alt.msdow.batch).
