Lonkero,

Its in an existing BAT file and I don't want to rewrite the whole thing for him in KIX (even though I think that would be the best way to go).

This is what I came up with from this link...and this one...

{edit}
Thanks Kent for that link to http://www.robvanderwoude.com/datetime.html. That's actually already in my favorites [Wink] .
I've noticed that as peeps share links on this board that I have some of the same links in my favs already, kinda cool, we all find the same resources at one time or another.
{/edit}

code:
@ECHO OFF

REM Create the date and time elements.
For /f "tokens=1-7 delims=:/-, " %%i in ('echo exit^|cmd /q /k"prompt $D $T"') do (
	For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/-,() skip=1" %%a in ('echo.^|date') do (
		set dow=%%i
		set %%a=%%j
		set %%b=%%k
		set %%c=%%l
		set hh=%%m
		set min=%%n
		set ss=%%o
	)
)

SET FILE=TestFile%HH%%MM%%SS%.log

ECHO This is a test >> %FILE%


:END
Well that ought to do what he wants anyway (and he's the developer?)

Thanks,
Rocco
