Username in Batch File?

[SilverBulletUK]

Hey guys,

Need your guidance yet again ...!!

Im trying to make a batch file to make a folder named after the user who is logged onto the computer at the time.....

Little explanation......

@echo off
SYSINFO.BAT >> C:\Logs\***username here***\Output.txt
Exit

how could i set the variable needed to replace "***username here***" is this even possible, forgive me this is really simple but its late!!!

Does this make any sense?

[Yzöwl]

What about using the SET command with the existing Environment Variable %USERNAME%

[SilverBulletUK]

Yeah, i was thinking somehting along thos lines but wasn't entirely sure as to how to use it...Ie syntax etc....

[SilverBulletUK]

Ah ha!

Cheers Fella!!

%USERNAME% Worked........Now ive just got to figure out how to make the following Directory Structure...

%username%\%DATE%\%TIME%\

And yes....ive tried the above Vars Ideas...?

::BUMP::

Anyone know how to make the Date & Time folders as stated above please???

[SiMoNsAyS]

mmm problem is that the simbols used for date and time ("\", "/", ":") can not be used to create the folder...

maybe sending the strings to a .txt file... dunno

[SilverBulletUK]

Ahhhh,

Explains why when I try i get %username%\Logs\25\01\05\

Intresting theory you get there.....but how to get rid of the "\" in the output.....

Guess im off to google for a few more hours...!

This Makes A Folder Based On The Current Date

@echo off
cls 
color F2
mode con: Cols=55 Lines=3
Title What Year Is It Test 2
SET D1=%date:~-4,10%
SET D2=%date:~7,-5%
SET D3=%date:~4,-8%
SET D4=%date:~0,-10%
echo.
@echo The Year Is %D1%
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
cls
echo.
@echo Today Date %D2%
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
cls
echo.
@echo The Month %D3%
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
cls
echo.
@echo The Day %D4%
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul

if exist %D3%-%D2%-%D1% goto E1 
if not exist %D3%-%D2%-%D1% goto W1

:W1
mkdir %D3%-%D2%-%D1%
echo.
echo Folder %D3%-%D2%-%D1% Was Made!
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul
exit

:e1
echo.
echo Folder Was Already Made!
ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul

The Folder Named Would Be 02-07-2005 or The Day

It Was ran On
