I have a scheduled task and I’d like to save logs from the output. After some quick batch file work, I came up with this.
@echo off setlocal for /f "tokens=2" %%A in ('date /t') DO @(set MyDate=%%A) set MyDate=%MyDate:/=-% set MyTime=%TIME::=-% set MyTime=%MyTime:.=-% set MyFilename=%MyDate%_%MyTime%.log echo Writing output to %MyFilename% mytask.exe > %MyFilename% endlocal
@echo off setlocal
for /f "tokens=2" %%A in ('date /t') DO @(set MyDate=%%A) set MyDate=%MyDate:/=-%
set MyTime=%TIME::=-% set MyTime=%MyTime:.=-% set MyFilename=%MyDate%_%MyTime%.log
echo Writing output to %MyFilename% mytask.exe > %MyFilename%
endlocal
I end up with filenames like 10-02-2009_14-34-56-00.log which gets the point across. Do you have a better way to accomplish this?
