Re: putting a date into a export file on NT

Try using this as a *.cmd in concert with your Base filename(s).

echo off
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%i in ('date/t') do set mmddyyyy=%%i%%j%%k set yymmdd=%mmddyyyy:~6,2%%mmddyyyy:~0,4% echo %mmddyyyy%
echo %yymmdd%
Pause

When run it produces the following:

03291999
990329

Take you pick
