I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not an expert on Windows batch command
language. There are some good references for that stuff on the
web--check them out.
To get the date in a format that should work for you in win2000 and
winxp, open a command prompt and type the following command:
FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %f IN ('date /t') DO (echo %h-%g-%f)
To get the same date format inside a .bat batch script, replace each %
sign with two % signs, like this:
FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%f IN ('date /t') DO (echo %%h-%%g-%%f)
You can run a similar command to get the current timestamp as well.
For more information on how to do this, and to better understand the
commands above, open a command prompt and type "for /?"... you will
see a help screen on the FOR construct in the windows command shell.
enjoy:)
