IIRC (this is from memory)

type somefile.bat
for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do set newdate=%%b%%c%%d& rename abc.txt abc.txt_%newdate%

this will append mmddyyyy to the file but it will work in batch file only.

You can use sqlplus to generate the script for you.

Hello,

I am trying to write a script on windows that would export the db every night. Can someone tell me how to generate unique file names on windows...

What I am looking for is the windows equivalent of echo `date +%m%d%y`

Thanks in advance.

Murali.
