depending on what version of windows you are using, you may be able to use date/t.

I use the following as part of a script to name backup files. Not sure where I found it, but it works for me.


for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date/t') do (
set dow=%%a
set month=%%b
set day=%%c
set year=%%d
)
