Subject: Name changing with datestampOS: Win 2000CPU/Ram: n/a |
Comment: I need to rename an auto generated .txt file with a datestamp. I thought I would set it up on a batch file that runs daily. For example, "LOG.txt" would become "dd-mm-yyLOG.txt". I know there have been previous questions like this on the notice boards, but I couldn't find one that works with a Win 2000 command line. Any suggestions? Happy to consider a complete alternative to a shell script if there's a better way...
