Command Prompt/Bat file - Create new folder named with today's date

Question

I use the following code to create a new folder that is named with todays date:

for /f \"tokens=1* delims=\" %%a in (\'date /T\') do set datestr=%%a
mkdir c:         


        

Answer 1

or simply

SET Today=%Date:~10,4%_%Date:~7,2%_%Date:~4,2%

echo %today%

outputs

2013_06_19
Press any key to continue . . .

Then you could easily use the variable today for directory creation e.g.:

mkdir %today%

EDIT: YYYY_MM_DD format
