concatenate file name and date

Comment:

Hi everybody I'm trying to concatenate a file name with the curent date in a doc batch file. Unfortunatly, the variable %date% returns nothing. Is it defined in Winnt? Else, how could I define it or does anybody have a solution to my problem? Thanks a lot for your replies...

Try this and see what it does: ECHO. | DATE | FIND "Current" >> C:\TEST.TXT ECHO. | TIME | FIND "Current" >> C:\TEST.TXT Might work, can't hurt to try it. Each of those two are just one line. Best
