hi all,
my problem:
I want to change a file name in todays date
like 291003vir_log.txt (NT Dos)

I tried this:
date /t >>date.txt
FOR /f "tokens=2 skip=2 delims= " %%a in ('find "." date.txt') do rename vir_log.txt %%avir_log.txt

But it changes the file name like this: 29.10.2003vir_log.txt

How can I get a correct file name?

thanks in advance for any help
uli

Use this (derived from your post, but more practical):

For /F "tokens=2-4 delims=. " %%A in ('Date /T') Do Rename Vir_Log.txt %%A%%B%%CVir_Log.txt
