Hi Steve, Are you using vbscript or javascript? In vbscript: Dim curMonth, curDay, curYear, curFullYear, curDisplayDate curYear = Year(Date) ' curDay would contain 07. curMonth = Month(Date) ' curMonth would contain 07 curYear = DatePart("yy", Date) ' curYear would contain 04. curFullYear = DatePart("yyyyy", Date) ' curYear would contain 04. Or curFullYear = Year(Date) curDisplayDate = curMonth & curDay & curYear BATCH.CMD STUFF ECHO OFF REM METHOD 1 for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4* delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set ^ indate=%%l%%j%%k Set curFullYear=%indate:~0,4% Set curYear=%indate:~2,2% set curMonth=%indate:~4,2% Set curDay=%indate:~6,2% echo %curYear% echo %curFullYear% echo %curMonth% echo %curDay% echo %inDate% REM METHOD 2 FOR /f "tokens=2-4 skip=1 delims=(-)" %%G IN ('echo.^|date') DO ( FOR /f "tokens=2 delims= " %%A IN ('date /t') DO ( SET v_first=%%G SET v_second=%%H SET v_third=%%I SET v_all=%%A ) ) SET %v_first%=%v_all:~0,2% SET %v_second%=%v_all:~3,2% SET %v_third%=%v_all:~8,4% ECHO Today is Year: [%yy%] Month: [%mm%] Day: [%dd%] ENDLOCAL & SET v_year=%yy%& SET v_month=%mm%& SET v_day=%dd% Thank you, Joseph -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Herrera [mailto:sherrera@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 11:36 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] OT: %date% http://www.ISAserver.org Is there a way inside of a batch file that I can change the way that %date% outputs?
