Batch command date and time in file name

Question

I am compressing files using WinZip on the command line. Since we archive on a daily basis, I am trying to add date and time to these files so that a new one is auto generat

Answer 1

I prever to use this over the current accepted answer from Stephan as it makes it possible to configure the timestamp using named parameters after that:

for /f %%x in ('wmic path win32_utctime get /format:list ^| findstr "="') do set %%x

It will provide the following parameters:

• Day
• DayOfWeek
• Hour
• Milliseconds
• Minute
• Month
• Quarter
• Second
• WeekInMonth
• Year

You can then configure your format like so:

SET DATE=%Year%%Month%%Day%
