1.	Solve : batch rename file with date on windows 2003?
Answer» hy! i have this for /f "tokens=1-7 delims=." %%d in ("%date%") do rename "c:\test.txt" %%d.%%e.%%f.txt i run this script in windows xp and it works FINE but under windows 2003 i GOT this "The system cannot find the FILE specified." why? (every path is ok) thank you all! A guess... the 2k3 setup has a different date format producing illegal characters? You're quite sure that c:\test.txt exists, is not HIDDEN or read only, and you have privileges to modify it? If you REWRITE the code like this for /f "tokens=1-7 delims=." %%d in ("%date%") do ( echo %%d.%%e.%%f.txt rename "c:\test.txt" %%d.%%e.%%f.txt ) what do you see?
