Hi Freinds,

I want to make a windows BATCH file that can save Current Date & time inside a TXT file & save the TXT file as somename.txt.......

I checked many sites but din't get a clue how to save current DATE & TIME AS a TXT File..

Can u pls do this small code for me?? Im aware of the date & time Variables in batch but dunno how to create a tXT file from them..

Dunno which is the right section for this but this one seemed the most feasible

Thx

Try this the text file will be saved in the directory that the script ran from

@echo Off
Set T=%time%
set D=%Date%
echo %T% - %D% >> TimeDate.txt

The same only different

@ECHO OFF
FOR /F "TOKENS=1-3 DELIMS=." %%a IN ("%time%") DO SET hhmmss=%%a
>>date.txt echo %date%
>>date.txt echo %hhmmss%

There are may ways to do this. You can even change your prompt and get a directory listing.

@echo offprompt $t $ddir > file.txt

Prompt will show time and date and the listing of the current directory. File will be saved in same directory.

Please note that the > character (as in last post) will OVERWRITE the file, if existing before, whilst the >> characters will APPEND to it.

There is an even simpler method using a built-in, not widely known, feature of NOTEPAD:
