Batch command to rename file with date help

[trgrassi]

Was on this site and found code to rename a file using batch but I can not get it to work

I have a file master.bak in folder T:\backup\master

I would like to rename it with a current date

rename master.bak master03232009.bak

Here is my batch file

@echo off
T:
cd\backup\master
for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in (%date%) do rename "master.bak" master%%e=%%f-%%g.bak

exit

the message I get is

The system cannot find the file mon.

Any idea on what is wrong?


Thanks

try changing:

Code: [Select]

for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in (%date%) do rename "master.bak" master%%e=%%f-%%g.bak

to

Code: [Select]

for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ('date /t') do rename "master.bak" master%%e=%%f-%%g.bak
