changing the format of date command result
happytoday
%date%" inside them . So , I run them in a lot of machines and every
machine has its own format of date .
How can I unite the format of date for all of the machines. I mean how
to make for all machines for example :
Mon 12/28/2009
or
dd/mm/yy
or
Any other format .
Thanks in advance for your help.

Timo is the best consultant for command.com and cmd.exe based solutions.
Since you crossposted to microsoft.public.windows.powershell I'll add that
I'm looking forwards to when he decides to add PowerShell to his tool box.

If you use the GnuWin32 port of date (rename to gnudate.exe to avoid
conflict), then
gnudate +%m/%d/%Y
will return the date in mm/dd/yyyy format regardless of the machine's
settings. The GnuWin32 port of date and a number of other utilities are
in the CoreUtils package:
<http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm>
I find it useful to copy my c:\bin directory with it's collection of
utilities to all the machines I set up, and to carry a copy with me on
a thumb drive for other machines.

you can use vbscript. See the date functions here

Well done! Perhaps Timo will add this expeditious method to retrieve date in
ISO 8601 format YYYYMMDD to his repository.
On a side note: I would insert an "@" before the SET statement to eliminate
the second @echo off line and reduce the >> just > in the following line.
Also, I thought lines of .js code needed to terminate with a semi-colon, but
this works without them so I just learned something new. Thanks.

Yes. Included into http://www.netikka.net/tsneti/info/tscmd001.htm

I have always felt the leading redirection does not lend itself well to
newsgroup posting. Also, your revised code excludes Win9x/ME systems. :(
I like VBScript so here is my version. ;-)
@echo off
echo D=Now:D=Year(D)*10000+Month(D)*100+Day(D)>>"%temp%.\tmp.vbs"
echo WScript.Echo "@set YYYYMMDD=" + Cstr(D) >> "%temp%.\tmp.vbs"
cscript //nologo "%temp%.\tmp.vbs" > "%temp%.\tmp.bat"
for %%? in (cal de) do %%?l "%temp%.\tmp.bat"
del "%temp%.\tmp.vbs"
echo YYYYMMDD=%YYYYMMDD%

Good. Whichever one uses, the essence probably is the one given by

It might be worth including a brief example of splitting and
reassembling, perhaps to DD.MM.YY, even though the way to do it is
indicated elsewhere in the FAQ?

That was straight out of
<URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/batfiles.htm>
which after test has been changed accordingly.
If a batch task needs a WSH script, then
* if the task is system-administrative, then use VBS, as the
documentation on Microsoft's Web site seems primarily aimed at VBS and
the Microsoft VBS newsgroup is more active than their JScript one;
* if the task involves Date/Time or RegExps, use JS;
* if you are a Web page author, use JS preferentially, as VBS is of
little use for the Web;
** in all cases :
(a) except sometimes,
(b) or use both.
JavaScript statements need a potentially-visible separator character; if
appropriate the system adds an internal semicolon at the end of a line
(that's not accurate, but suffices here). Many prefer to use only
actually-visible separators.
It's a pity that JavaScript was introduced for Web pages; building on
Pascal would have been much better.
FYI, all : I have a Web page which, copied among the local master of a
web site, will check local links and anchors - and also day-of-week in
yyyy-mm-dd xxx - it is linxchek.htm (read it before trying it). The
local copy can be altered to accommodate FFF dates and/or day-of-week
other than Mon-Sun.

Perhaps that's excessive hand-holding. The same FAQ item #1 includes
several instances. Some initiative should be expected the reader.
