Hi, I would like to rename a file (which is copied from another location) to have the current date reflected in the filename. Please refer to below.. ------------- @echo off for /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/- " %%A in ('date/T') do set DATE=%%C%%A%%B set DATE=%DATE:~2% XCOPY \\sgsinjde05\c$\temp\r55410~1.csv e:\test /Z REN e:\batch\r55410~1.csv "%DATE%".csv ------------- I got the last line wrong, 'cos I'm not sure how to do it, please help. Thanks in advance

The syntax of the command looks just fine, its logic is the one strange here... From your batch file: XCOPY \\sgsinjde05\c$\temp\r55410~1.csv e:\test /Z REN e:\batch\r55410~1.csv "%DATE%".csv You're copying a file A to a file B and trying to rename a file C, different than A and B. Perhaps that's the problem? -- Leonardo Pignataro - Secret_Doom -- secret_doom@hotmail.com www.batch.hpg.com.br ______________________________________________________
