Please help. How to I create a DOS directory with the name MMDDYYHHMM for today's date. I am working in the Windows NT 4 environment. I have tried the suggestions posted.
With
FOR /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/- " %a in ("%DATE%") do set CDATE=%%a%%b%%c
I get the message "c was unexpected at this time."
Thanx for any help.

If you're on the command prompt, use:
FOR /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/- " %a in ("%DATE%") do set CDATE=%a%b%c
If you're on a batch file, use:
FOR /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/- " %%a in ("%DATE%") do set CDATE=%%a%%b%%c
