create a batch file with date as folder name

[VaibhavVeralkar]

Hey, i have created a batch file which copy the data of one folder into another. But after copying i want to give the particular date as a folder name. I am not able to. Please give your suggestions.

This is my code.

@echo off

:: variables

echo Backing up file

set /P source=Enter source folder:

set /P destination=Enter Destination folder:

set listfile=xcopy /L

set xcopy=xcopy /S/E/V/Q/F/H

%listfile% %source% %destination%

echo files will be copy press enter to proceed

pause

%xcopy% %source% %destination% %date%

pause

The DATE /T command and the %DATE% variable all output with slashes.  So you will need to use a FOR /F command to strip out the day of the week and the slashes depending on what your DATE format is.

You would then use the MD command to create a new directory for the destination.
