Hello again. I am using the %date% and %time% variables in a program, but I need to take the / and the : out of them to leave me with just a number like 21072010. I know that I need to use a FOR loop, but I'm still working on how to use them.
Thanks, guys.

Read set/?

Code: Select all

set "var=%var:/=%"

Or you can use it like

Code: Select all

set now=%time%
echo %now:~0,2%_%now:~3,2%_%now:~6,2%

Also, you can read about it with set /? :wink:
