    Output Date to File
    « on: October 17, 2008, 01:54:31 PM »
    I've tried to output the system date to a file, and it does output the date, but the cmd window never closes because it's waiting for input.  How do I output the date to a file either supplying an enter to the system, or bypassing the prompt in a .bat file?

    Code: [Select]
    date /t > datefile.txt

    That will eliminate the prompt.

        Why did you duplicate a post made on October 17th, johnsonben?
