I reckon he meant not to hardcode the date. Jmjsin, this should do it: for /F %%A in ("%DATE%") do ren test.txt test%%C%%A%%B.txt That will exclude the separators. If you want them, use this instead: for /F %%A in ("%DATE%") do ren test.txt test%%C-%%A-%%B.txt Those lines are to be used from inside a batch file. In order to execute them from the command prompt, change the double % signs for single ones (%A instead of %%A and so on). -- Leonardo Pignataro - Secret_Doom -- secret_doom@hotmail.com www.batch.hpg.com.br _________________________________________________________________
