IIRC (this is from memory)
type somefile.bat
for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do set newdate=%%b%%c%%d&
rename abc.txt abc.txt_%newdate%
this will append mmddyyyy to the file but it will work in batch file only.

Hello,
I am trying to write a script on windows that would export the db every
night. Can someone tell me how to generate unique file names on windows...
What I am looking for is the windows equivalent of echo `date +%m%d%y`
Thanks in advance.
Murali.
