TimeStamp on the Log file

[kalyan]

Hi,

I am trying to schedule a batch file to run at specific intervals and i am trying to run a command line utility.

I am redirecting the output into a log file log.txt

i need to get the time stamp in the file name like
logMMDDYYHHMMSS.txt

I am not particular about the order of the time stamp.


Can anybody help me in creating this batch file as desired.

Thanks
Kalsee

I use the lines below. This will write 4 lines to the end of the log file, showing date, time, reason and a few dashes for spacing.

echo. |date /t >> e:\logs\log.txt
echo. |time /t >> e:\logs\log.txt
echo. Reason for Log >> e:\logs\log.txt
echo. ---------- >> e:\logs\log.txt

Hi Richard,

Thanks for spending time to reply for my query.

But Here is what i am looking for.

I am trying to name the log file with the time stamp.

Example : G:\LogMMDDYYHHMMSS.txt

that way i'll have a new file created each time the batch file is fired. and all the file names will be unique.

Thanks
Kalyan
