How to create a folder with name as current date in batch (.bat) files

Question

I don\'t know much about windows .bat file syntax. My simple requirement is to create a folder at a specific location with name as current date. I tried searching this on go

Answer 1

I use the next code to make a file copy (e.g. test.txt) before replacing:

cd /d %~dp0
set backupDir=%date:~7,2%-%date:~-10,2%-%date:~-2,2%_%time:~0,2%.%time:~3,2%.%time:~6,2%
echo make dir %backupDir% ...
md "%backupDir%"
copy test.txt %backupDir%

It creates directory in format DD-MM-YY_HH.MM.SS and places text.txt there. Time with seconds in the name is necessary to create directory without additional verification.
