Not sure if anyone is interested or not, but here was my answer (from
another list)
FOR /f "tokens=1,2" %%X in ('date /t') DO SET TheDate=%%Y
FOR /f "delims=/ tokens=1,2,3" %%A in ("%TheDate%") DO SET Month=%%A
FOR /f "delims=/ tokens=1,2,3" %%A in ("%TheDate%") DO SET Day=%%B
FOR /f "delims=/ tokens=1,2,3" %%A in ("%TheDate%") DO SET YEAR=%%C
ECHO Month=%Month% Day=%Day% Year = %Year%

Subject: batch file
Hi All,
Its a long time since I wrote a batch file so please bear with.
I'm trying to set a variable within a batch file to the system date,
actually what I really need is the month and day, but I'm not sure if that's
possible.
I tried (with no success):
set var = date /t
echo var
I'm using this batch file to run the command line winzip utilities to go in
and zip up about 2 GB of SQL Server backups and I want to use parts of the
system date to name the resulting zip file.
Maybe I should be using WSH but I've never used it before. If this isn't
possible using a batch file can someone point me to a good WSH reference
site?
Duane
