I WANT TO RENAME THE FILE NAME THROUGH BATCH SCRIPT. FOR EXAMPLE.

I WANT RENAME THE FILE:- D:\ASIF\ABC.TXT TO D:\ASIF\ABCSYSTEM CURRENT DATE .TXT.

ABC.TXT FILE RENAME WITH ABC01-JAN-2011 (HOW CAN I DO IN BATCH FILE).

I HOPE UNDERSTAND MY QUESTION.Is there a CAPS LOCK key on your keyboard?

You need the month name in words? E.g "Jan", "Feb", etc? And must the words be in all capital LETTERS?

Also, what is your local date format? Open a command WINDOW and type ECHO %DATE% and press Enter. What do you see?

Code: [Select]import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.Format;

public class RenameFileWithDateTime {
public static void main(String[] args){
if (args.length != 1){
System.out.printf("Usage: java RenameFileWithDateTime <file name>\n");
System.exit(1);
}
File file = new File(args[0]);
if ( file.exists() && file.isFile() ){
String f = file.toString();
String extension = "";
int d=f.length();
if ( f.indexOf(".") != -1 ) {
d = f.lastIndexOf(".") ; //get the last dot
extension = f.substring(d); //get the extension
}
String fileName = f.substring(0,d);
Date date = new Date();
Format dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
String newName = fileName + dateFormatter.format( new Date() ) + extension;
file.renameTo( new File( newName ) );
}
}
}

use Java to run the class file (attached)
Code: [Select]java RenameFileWithDateTime ABC.TXT
