Remove Time Element From File Creation Date

[Cap'nKirk]

Hi,

I have a batch file that outputs a list of files in a directory along with their creation and modification dates.

Unfortunately the creation date also includes the time which for my needs is not necessary and I am trying to remove this element but without luck.

The variable for the Creation Date is:

%%~ta

Unfortunately I am currently away from my PC and am unable to post more code at the moment but if someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Regards.

Another for loop, may help you:

Code: Select all

for %%a in (z.txt) do for /F %%A in ("%%~ta") do echo %%A

Thanks for the reply.

As soon as I am back infront of my PC I'll give it a try

Sorry penpen, I couldn't seem to get that to work.

As I am now infront of my PC, ere the whole code that I have:

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL
(FOR /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /b /a-d /s /n "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Pics & Vids"') DO (
    FOR /f "tokens=1-3*" %%x IN ('dir /a-d /tc "%%~a"^|findstr "^[0-9]"') DO (
        ECHO ^<img src="%%a" width="20px" border="2"^>^<a href="%%a"^>%%~nxa^</a^>,%%~ta,%%x ^</br^>
    )
))>DIR.html
TYPE DIR.html

I do not know where to place the snippet that you posted.

I do not know where to place the snippet that you posted.

Always and only on the right place:

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL
(FOR /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /b /a-d /s /n "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Pics & Vids"') DO (
    FOR /f "tokens=1-3*" %%x IN ('dir /a-d /tc "%%~a"^|findstr "^[0-9]"') DO (
      for /f %%c in ("%%~ta") do (
         ECHO ^<img src="%%a" width="20px" border="2"^>^<a href="%%a"^>%%~nxa^</a^>,%%~c,%%x ^</br^>
      )
    )
))>DIR.html
