MKDIR D:\%DATE%

[matrixindicator]

Hey,

I create a bat file to create with a shortcut a new map with the current date, with the above I got as the map file

2007-11-21

I like however the current date but with a format of
20071121 (without dashes). How to ?

This cannot be done with a batch file. You will need to use a higher level language program such as Basic or Assembly in order to process the data and interact with the dos.

It may be able to do in a batch file. How do you get the 2007-11-21? Show the code that generates that string.

Hey MatrixIndicator
Here's a code which I use in a batchfile that makes several subdirectories with the actual data and the lastone with a timevalue.
Note: use the same seperator in your date (fe "-" = delims=-- or "/" = delims=-/) en place the right one in the code
success,

Stef

@echo off
for /F "tokens=1,2,3 delims=-- " %%i in ('date /t') do set datum=%%k%%j%%i
for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=: " %%i in ('time /t') do set tijd=%%i%%j
echo %datum%
echo %tijd%
md CA_%datum%
md CB_%datum%
md holdings_%datum%
md nav_%datum%
md smf_%datum%
md transactions_%datum%_%tijd%

Echo Subdirectories are Succesfully made!
