Help with .bat

[Guest]

Hi forum people, first of all sorry for my english, now the subject: i
changed the bat of the MS Support page to print the directory list in order
to keep it in a file .txt and then to be possible to modify the content. The
new bat is:
echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "C:\files\Directory List.txt"
exit
and it run ok, but i wld need that the bat gives a new name to the .txt in
each ocassion (ie to add date & time at name "Directory List.txt") in order
not to clean previus file.
Is it possible to do that? & how??
Thks in advance for your help.

you could add this:

echo off
echo %date% >> (filename)
echo %time% >> (filename)
dir %1 /-p /o:gn >> (filename)
echo . >> (filename)
exit

The additional lines, and the double-pipe will insert the date and
time into the existing file and not overwrite it.
Not exactly what you asked for, but it might work for you.

not really sure but is this what your trying to do:

@echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=1-8 delims=:/-. " %%a in ("%date% %time%") do (
set dayname=%%a
set month=%%b
set day=%%c
set year=%%d
set hour=%%e
set minute=%%f
set second=%%g
set millisecond=%%h
)
dir %1 /-p /o:gn >"c:\files\%dayname%
%month:~0,-1%-%day:~0,-1%-%year:~0,-1%
%hour:~0,-1%-%minute:~0,-1%-%second:~0,-1%-%millisecond:~0,-1%_directory
list.txt"
endlocal

*lines that dont begin with 2 spaces have accidentally wrapped*
