    Append Date-Time while Renaming files

    Hi, I want to append date and time to file which I am renaming. How to do it? I have tried following bat file, but not working as I want.
    Code:
    FOR %%V IN (%1) DO FOR /F "tokens=1-5 delims=/: " %%J IN ("%%~tV") 
    DO ECHO Rename "%%V" %%L%%J%%K_%%M%%N%%~xV
    Can you help me to do it?

    Hello, I am using one bat file which first make zip of the file and then rename it in mmddyy format. Just try it.

    Code:
    set mm= %Date:~3,2%
    set dd = %Date:~0,2%
    set yy = %Date:~8,2%
    pkzip -a AL%mm%dd%yy% *.doc
    I think this will solve your problem. Just try this.

    Hello, I have got one bite script which will work for you. Just use it. It will help you in this situation.

    For getting time stamp:
    Code:
    var str timestamp
    set $timestamp=gettime()
    For getting file extension
    Code:
    var str extension
    stex "[^.^l"$ $file >$extn
    Now for adding timestamp to the file name:
    Code:
    set $file = $file + $timestamp
    Again to add extension
    Code:
    set $file = $file + $extension
