Answer» 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

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