Re: Is NT 2000 Dos Batch Timestamp sysntax different ?

Thanks Simon,
How should I edit the exiting NT batch file TODAY%_%HR%_%MIN% varaibles for renaming the LOG file with date and time ? *J

rem EXP.BAT
cd/d d:\oracle\admin\PDS\script
set time_stamp=.
FOR /F "tokens=1-3 delims= " %%A in ("%date%_%time%") do set time_stamp=%%B%%C
FOR /F "tokens=1-3 delims=/" %%A in ("%time_stamp%") do set time_stamp=%%A%%B%%C
FOR /F "tokens=1-3 delims=:" %%A in ("%time_stamp%") do set time_stamp=%%A%%B%%C
FOR /F "tokens=1-2 delims=." %%A in ("%time_stamp%") do set time_stamp=%%A%%B
call exp1.bat
sendmail -t securityadministrator_at_equine.com -f parapp06 -s "PARAPP06 CHECK - PDS" -b
