I have a similar need - How to I rename a fle so the new name contains the date & time of the file. For example, if the file is file.txt with a date of 06/21/2002 and time of 4:00:00 am The new file will be called 06/21/2002 4-00-00am file.txt. I also want to get the server name where the file is stored at the time fo the rename. So the new file name will be something like Server 06/21/2002 4-00-00am file.txt Any ideas? (Windows NT)

Here is a method where you can rename your file to the following format: server__.txt The batch job is as follows: ------------ rem Get Current Date rem Format: DDMMYYYY rem rem Get Current Time rem Format: HHMI ------------ for /f "tokens=2" %%D in ('date /t') do set @DATE=%%D for /f "tokens=1" %%T in ('time /t') do set @TIME=%%T set @TODAY=%@DATE:~0,2%%@DATE:~3,2%%@DATE:~6,4%_%@TIME:~0,2%%@TIME:~3,2% ------------ ------------ rem rename the exported files to include today's date and time ren test.txt server_%@TODAY%.txt ------------ Let us know how you go with it.
