Generate unique file name with timestamp in batch script

Question

In my .bat file I want to generate a unique name for files/directories based on date-time.

e.g.

Build-2009-10-29-10-59-00

The probl

Answer 1

To make the code in the previous example work, I needed to adjust slightly. I presume this is because my PC is using a UK date format. To get back "2014-04-19" in mydate I needed:

For /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set mydate=%%c-%%b-%%a)

Below I've pasted my total script, and included an example of how to use the filename

For /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set mydate=%%c-%%b-%%a)
For /f "tokens=1-2 delims=/:" %%a in ("%TIME%") do (set mytime=%%a%%b)
set mytime=%mytime: =0%

set Logname="c:\temp\LogFiles\MyLogFile_%mydate%_%mytime%.log"
Robocopy  \\sourceserver\Music H:\MyBackups\Music /MIR /FFT /Z /XA:H /W:5 /np /fp /dcopy:T /unilog:%Logname% /tee 

Hope this helps!
