I changed short date format to display the date on the way more common to the Serbian local settings. Here is another example of the changed local settings. When we run this batch file from the command prompt, we will see current date. Here is source of the check_date_format.bat file: off Those numbers will be used to mark a position of every number or the letter in the date string.
I made a simple batch script that will just return the current date and under it write some numbers. I used all those scripts on the Windows XP, 2003 Server and later versions of the Microsoft Windows operating systems. With this method you will always have the same format of the current day or time, regardless the local regional settings. (Update ) You can find the alternate way to read the current date and time values in this post. That’s the reason why we need to check this settings before we can use any batch file that utilize the date value. Therefore, our batch file will work fine with one settings and return useless information with other. The batch files can use special variable named DATE and which returns the current date in the local regional format.Īs we knew, the regional settings are different.
We can use the value of current date (and also time) in the batch files, whenever we generating new files and folders. We can use, for example, the dates to distinguish the log files by the days. Using current date as part of the file or a folder (the directory) name is very useful.
