Answer 1

@For /F "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=/ " %%A in ('Date /t') do @(

Set DayW=%%A

Set Day=%%B

Set Month=%%C


Set Year=%%D


Set All=%%D%%B%%C
)
"C:\Windows\CWBZIP.EXE" "c:\transfer\ziptest%All%.zip" "C:\transfer\MB5L.txt"

This takes MB5L.txt and compresses it to ziptest20120204.zip if run on 4 Feb 2012
