Date Time Stamp in a batch file?

[RedSoxM3]

I have a simple "move" batch file. It is:

Move E:\Mercator6.7\cmgr\mmgr\staging\*.cpt E:\Mercator6.7\cmgr\mmgr\mail\


Does anyone know how to have the output file in the \mail folder have a datatime stamp on it?

You could do this in a map, but it could run so fast the OS can't provide a unique time stamp.

You could use the Oracle or any database to provide you a unique number. Not sure if the performance degradation associated with hitting the database for every file move would be a concern here.

Using a map is prob best but something like this might work in a batch file....

set d_yy=%date:~10,4%
set d_mm=%date:~4,2%
set d_dd=%date:~7,2%
set t_hh=%time:~,2%
set t_mm=%time:~3,2%
set t_ss=%time:~6,2%
set DtTmStmp=%d_yy%%d_mm%%d_dd%%t_hh%%t_mm%%t_ss%
set FileOut=E:\Mercator6.7\cmgr\mmgr\mail\%DtTmStmp%mi.edi

copy E:\Mercator6.7\cmgr\mmgr\staging\*.cpt %FileOut%

Use the following in the batch file...

@for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do @for /f "Tokens=5-7 Delims=:. " %%d in ('echo. ^| time ^| findstr /i /v enter') do @SET datestamp=20%%c%%b%%a%%d%%e%%f

(all on one line) - the date/time stamp is then available as %datestamp%
