naming files with current date

Comment:

HI, I am trying to write a batch file that will name a file with the current date, preferably the day. I am running win2K. Thanks, David.

Now THAT's a batch FAQ =D Use this to get the actual date to the variable %date%. I leave the rest to you. @echo off echo. |date |find "Current"> $$out.bat echo SET DATE=%%4> current.bat call $$out.bat del $$out.bat del current.bat if that doesn't work, try this: @echo off rem > $^getd^$.tmp echo set dircmd=%dircmd%> $$resdir.bat dir |find /i "$^getd^$"> $$out.bat echo set date=%%3> $^getd^$.bat call $$out.bat call $$resdir.bat del $$out.bat del $$resdir.bat del $^getd^$.tmp del $^getd^$.bat That's it. -- Secret_Doom -- secret_doom@hotmail.com secretdoom.hpg.com.br
