Hi All, I have one scheduled batch file which runs after every 2 hours and gives the output in one file, But I want that it should give the output in diffrent file. Like:- right now I am getting the output as "output.txt" but I want the output as output_2:00 PM_26-10-2009.txt that means the file name should contains the Time as well as Date. Please help me out in this. Regards, Gaurav...

@echo off Set Month=%Date:~-4,4%-%Date:~-10,2% Set Day=%Time:~-11,2%;%Time:~-8,2%;%Time:~-5,2%_%Date:~-4,4%-%Date:~-10,2%-%Date:~-7,2% Echo Hello > output_%Day%.txt

There's no point in guessing at the date & time layout. Also, no colons in filename. ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2

Sorry I wrote it off the top of my head and I forgot you can't use ":" in files names. Here I replaced the ":" with ".".... @echo off Set Day=%Time:~-11,2%.%Time:~-8,2%.%Time:~-5,2%_%Date:~-4,4%-%Date:~-10,2%-%Date:~-7,2% Ping Yahoo.com > Output_%day%.txt The problem is that you can't use spaces in DOS scripting so this only works with Post Meridian times. So I used GOOGLE which every one should do and found this....
