RE: Append date/time stamp to logfile name (NT 4.0)
Hello,
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but you can use the following in
a batch file:
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=-/ " %%i in ('date/t') do set filedate=%%k%%j%%i
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=: " %%i in ('time/t') do set filetime=%%i%%j
ren logfile.log %filedate%%filetime%.txt
This assumes your NT date format is "-MM-dd" or "/MM/dd"and
your time format is "HH:mm:ss" or "H:mm:ss" both of which are configurable
in CONTROL PANEL --> REGIONAL SETTINGS.

Re: Append date/time stamp to logfile name (NT 4.0)
Chuck, It's doable, and I've seen scripts on the net that do it, but it's a bit cumbersome. However, you could also do it in sqlplus, using spool, where the name of the spool file is taken from a new_value of a date query, i.e., col x new_value fn select to_char (sysdate, 'DDMMHHMI') || '.txt' x from dual; spool &fn hth, yosi "Speaks, Chuck W." wrote: > OS: NT 4.0 > > I have scheduled a query against a database that pipes results to a log > file. > > Ex.

Append date/time stamp to logfile name (NT 4.0)
OS: NT 4.0 I have scheduled a query against a database that pipes results to a log file. Ex. Select * from any_table; >logfile.txt Since I need a trend on this query I need to keep the logfile names unique. Best case scenario is to append a date/time stamp to the logfile name as in 230820011200.txt (daymonthyeartime). Does anyone know how to do this with NT scripting? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
