You can write this much shorter, but this long version makes reading and understanding the code easy. I like the short version on top of The lorax, but for other language settings it might be slightly different. For example, in german language settings with natural date format: dd. This is my 2 cents for a datetime string. Then double click it.
If there is a 0 in the first 2 digits of the time, Windows ignores the rest of the file name of the LOG file. I tried the accepted answer and it works pretty well. CS, and the missing 0 on the front was causing parsing problems before 10 am. To get over this hurdle and also allow parsing of most any of the world time formats, I came up with this simple routine that appears to work quite well. The nice thing with this routine is that you pass in the time string as the first parameter and the name of the environment variable you want to contain the time in centiseconds as the second parameter.
For example:. In situations like this use a simple, standard programming approach: Instead of expending a huge effort parsing an unknown entity, simply save the current configuration, reset it to a known state, extract the info and then restore the original state.
Use only standard Windows resources. Reg is the console registry editor included with all Windows versions. Elevated privileges are not required to modify the HKCU key. For reasons I don't understand, resetting the "sShortDate" value takes effect immediately in a console window but resetting the very similar "sTimeFormat" value does NOT take effect until a new console window is opened.
However, the only thing changeable is the delimiter - the digit positions are fixed. Likewise the "HH" time token is supposed to prepend leading zeros but it doesn't. Fortunately, the workarounds are easy. So most of the previous answers did not work for me. If you are not picky about the exact format and just want a timestamp to differentiate the files you can do this:.
This should work for most locales. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams? Collectives on Stack Overflow. Learn more.

Possible duplicate of How to get current datetime on Windows command line, in a suitable format for using in a filename?
You can replace empty spaces on your datetimef variable, and put 0's instead. This would certainly not be my preference. Your Batch file would essentially be a loop, looking if the date required has been achieved. If the value comparison if true, it would execute possibly a sub: and then return to the start of the loop. Here are 2 solutions: 1. The second line formats datetime in the form I needed for what I used it for.
You can modify this line to format however suits your needs. Great information here. I am in need of a way to get the full 24 hr time displayed live. I am looking for a way to make that happen automatically without me hitting enter constantly.
Thanks in advance! Thank you very much Srini for this tutorial. I created my own Windows 10 Defender Virus scan batch command and used schedule task to run it and used your commands to create log files with date and time stamp. This works with Windows 10, 8.

I can't see how your answer adds any more informations to that — jeb. This is the simplest answer. Works for me. Not sure if your question was answered. Does not seem to create multiple instances, so that's a good thing. Bill Harding Bill Harding 19 1 1 bronze badge.
What could still be optimized: Other processes might get confused if using the date format in the short period while it is modified. So parsing the output according to the existing format string could be 'safer' - but will be more complicated. I used date. PowerShell Try the code below.
It will create the file or folder varible with the date as ddmmyyhhmm in 24hour time. Given a known locality, for reference in functional form. I know that there are numerous ways mentioned already. But here is my way to break it down to understand how it is done. Hopefully, it is helpful for someone who like step by step method. My solution is for the UK though.
