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.

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.

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:

var str timestamp
set $timestamp=gettime()

For getting file extension

var str extension
stex "[^.^l"$ $file >$extn

Now for adding timestamp to the file name:

set $file = $file + $timestamp

Again to add extension

set $file = $file + $extension

Hi, I have got the code which will append date and time while renaming it. Just try to make use of it, if you are getting it. I am not able to know how to use it? But if you got it, then reply me also.

Set date=%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%
FOR %%V IN (%1) DO Call :DoLoop

:DoLoop
set OFullFileName=%%V
Set OFileExt=%FileName:~-4%
Set OFileName=%OFullFileName:~0,-4%
Set NFullFileName=%OFileName%%dat%%OFileExt%
Rename %OFullFileName% %NFullFileName%
Goto :EOF
