Answer 2

Hello,

In CMD batch files generally the solution is quite simple — we should use the %date% and %time% built-in variables, that display date and time based on the regional coding. for date echo %date% for time echo %time% just add in front of output file name in connect script for example - "D:\path\outfile_%date%%time%"

Are you trying to rename a file by adding its creation date to the existing file name? If so, something like this will work:

$x = get-item C:\junk\dp.txt
$date = get-date $x.CreationTime -Format "yyyy MM dd"
$x | Rename-Item -Name ("{0}_{1}" -f $date, $x.Name)
