Batchfile to create backup and rename with timestamp
batch-file, windows, windows-vista
Solution
try this:
ren "File 1-1" "File 1 - %date:/=-% %time::=-%"
Problem
I have the following network path to copy the file to an archive folder. It copies `File 1` from `Folder` to `Archive` but I would like to add these 2 adjustments that won't work. - Rename `File 1-1` to `File 1 - date + time` - Running it now displays a cmd box with the copy code, is it possible to run it in the background or have a loading screen to show the progress? For my code I followed this example to change the name to a date. ``` copy "F:\Folder\File 1.xlsx" "F:\Folder\Archive\File 1-1.xlsx" /f "tokens=1-5 delim s=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do rename "F:\Folder example 2.xlsx" "F:\Folder\File example %%e-%%f-%%g.xlsx" ```
