In Reply to: DOS date format YYYY-MM-DD posted by Paul on April 16, 2012 at 11:09:31:
: I have written a small DOS .bat file copied
: below to archive local files to the network
: regularly ~ which is working well.
: The problem is XDate is in the format
: DD-MM-YYYY and archives are sorting themselves
: by day not by date.
: How do I change the format to YYYY-MM-DD?
:
: @echo off
: for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/- " %%a in ('date /t') do set XDate=%%a-%%b-%%c
: for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=: " %%a in ('time /t') do set XTime=%%a.%%b
: echo %XDate% %XTime%
: md "\\\Archive\%Xdate%_DatabaseArchive"
: xcopy "c:\temp\databases\*.*" "\\\Archive\%Xdate%_DatabaseArchive" /s /y
