Comment: I want to rename a directory each day to the current date using a script. For example I would like to rename "aaa" to "102700" It is not important that the date resemble the one used in an example. Thanks Drew

Reply: (edit)You can do this purely in batch or enlist the aid of a third party utility. This batch will parse the system date. http://home7.inet.tele.dk/batfiles/monthly/sep2000.htm After that you can do whatever you want with the pieces. "If you prefer, you can download send.com Suppose that your communication program captures input into a file named "temp" by default. You want to make a batch file which collects your electronic mail and stores it in a file whose name is stamped with today's date. Include the line send ren temp mail$M$D.$Y $_exit$_|command in the file and things will work exactly as you wish." --from send.doc
