- Batch file to rename with time and date
- Posted by alexanderd79@googlemail.com on November 23rd, 2007
Hi
I have a batch file that renames a file and appends the time on the
end of the filename. What I need it to do is append both the time and
date at the same time. My line of code is:
for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=:" %%d in ("%time%") do rename
"filename.xls" "filename"%%d-%%e-%%f.xls
I'm sure i can do this in one line but not sure how to add the %date%
in correctly
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Perhaps something like this:
for /F "tokens=1-8 delims=:/" %%a in ('echo %date% %time%') do echo ren
"file.xls" "%%a-%%b-%%c %%d-%%e file.xls"
