[RESOLVED] Simple batch file problem...

I did something like this a while ago, here's a piece of the batch:

::Parse the time variable into timeStamp
FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/:. " %%J IN ("%time%") DO SET timeStamp=%%J_%%K_%%L

::Parse the dat variable into dateStamp
FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/:. " %%J IN ("%date%") DO SET dateStamp=%%J_%%K_%%L

::Create the file name (will have spaces after each variable value
set filename=Performance_%dateStamp%_%timeStamp%.log

::Parse the filename again and get rid of the spaces
::FOR /F "tokens=1-4" %%J IN ("%filename%") DO SET filename=%%J%%K%%L

Hope that helps :)

Yes, it creates a file named: Performance_%time-stamp%.log
It's pretty close to what you intended to do - slight modifications needed.

It IS a batch file to run under windows.

Best of luck !

This worked for me under WinXP:

::Parse the time variable into timeStamp
FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/:. " %%J IN ("%time%") DO SET timeStamp=%%J_%%K_%%L

::Parse the dat variable into dateStamp
FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/:. " %%J IN ("%date%") DO SET dateStamp=%%J_%%K_%%L

::Create the file name (will have spaces after each variable value
set filename=abc_%dateStamp%_%timeStamp%.txt

rename D:\paths\abc.txt %filename%

Output file was: abc_03_12_2007_11_22_37.txt
