Hello techies,
I have this script but it gives me an error trying to rename export.txt to export.date.time.txt format, any ideas?
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot>copy export.txt export.11062003.1:36p.txt
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. 0 file(s) copied.
here is my script:
For /F "tokens=* delims=:. " %%D in ('Time /T') Do Set TM=%%D
For /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%A in ('Date /T') Do copy export.txt export.%%A%%B%%C.%TM%.txt
Thank you for your time!

Hi
it's the colon in time that's the problem
it not allowed in a filenane.
try changing the first line to this.
For /F "tokens=1,2lims=:. " %%D in ('Time /T') Do Set TM=%%D%%E
