Need a CMD guru

[agnes]

Trying to get a simple .bat file to put the date in the title of a text doc it creates when it runs a ping bat...

So, for example I need the .bat to run test.bat (which has a huge list of ping -n 3 commands to a bunch of IP. the bat file I am trying to make, I want it to create a text file with the title for the name of the txt file.

Also, to create a new file each time the bat is run.

Thanks, ags.

The variable %CURRDATE% will do exactly what it says on the tin.

Can you elaborate please?

Thanks.

Got it working now guys...

Setup a scheduled task on one of the servers to run a .bat which had the following in:

v:
cd 03 Engineering Team
cd server ping logs

"reading server ping.bat" > %date:~-4,4%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~0,2%__%time:~0,2%.%time:~3,2%.%time:~6,2%.txt

Cheers for the help guys
