script file to add date to file name

[asha]

Hello Folks,

Have a small problem that I'm hoping I could get some assistance with.  I currently have a batch file which that that ftp's a .txt to a desired location. I want to rename this text file with current month in abbreviation and year  to the filename my filename is MISFTP.txt it should be rename to be something like 102<Mon'17>.txt  i.e 102oct'17


USER user   
PASS password
CONNECT "gggggg"
ONERROR GOTO DISCONNECT
cd MISFTP
MPUT MISFTP.txt
RNFR /home/ssattu/MISFTP/MISFTP.txt
RNTO /home/ssattu/MISFTP/102.txt
LABEL DISCONNECT
CLOSE

You don't need to use the rename command.  You can name it when you use the put the command.

Code: [Select]

PUT MISFTP.txt 102oct17.txt

If you are looking for a way to get the month name and century into variables to use to build your FTP script, this should help you with that.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set m=100
for %%m in (January February March April May June July August September October November  December) do (
   set /A m+=1
   set month[!m:~-2!]=%%m
)
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime /value') do set "dt=%%a"
set cc=%dt:~2,2%
set mm=%dt:~4,2%
set monthName=!month[%mm%]!
echo Month Name: %monthName%
echo    Century: %cc%
pause
