 |
|
Hi there,
I need to write a batch file to create a directory with the format
mm-yy. The script will be running on a windows 2003 server. The job
will be scheduled to run on a server every night.
I have an old one from a windows 2000 server but it doesn't work (and
it gives me the folder name in the format mm-yyyy). The code is below:
For /F "tokens=2-2 delims=/ " %%a in ('DATE /T') do SET
datestring=%%b-%%c
For /F "tokens=2-2 delims=/ " %%a in ('DATE /T') do SET monthstring=%%b
For /F "tokens=2-2 delims=/ " %%a in ('DATE /T') do SET YearToDo=%%c
d:
cd c
mkdir %datestring%
cd %datestring%
Can anyone help me out with this problem. |

This will probably do:
@echo off
set datestring=%date:~4,2%-%date:~12,2%
md "c%datestring%"
cd /d "c%datestring%"
My own country code is different from yours, hence the format
of the command
echo %date%
on my machine may differ from the format on your machine.
If the result is not quite what you expect then shou should
play with the numbers 4 and 12 in line 2. They determine
which parts ("substrings") of the %date% variable are used. |
