Re: Renaming files with a date in bat file

I have my system archive the daily log files in a directory with the filename
as a date. Here is my batch file:

ARCHIVE.BAT
@echo off

rem Now we set the date to enable it to write as a filename
FOR /F "TOKENS=1* DELIMS= " %%A IN ('DATE/T';) DO SET CDATE=%%B
For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t';) do (set date=%%a%%b%%c)

md c:\va\archive\%date%

rem Now, using the command line winzip, we create archives
cd \va
wzzip -a c:\va\archive\%date%\va%date% *.log
del *.log

cd \va\data
wzzip -a c:\va\archive\%date%\data%date% *.log
del *.log

cd \va
