batch files: search and replace strings in a variable
Task: Create timestamped filename in a batch file.
Problem: %DATE% is ok (1.03.2005 on my pc) but %TIME% returns a string with colons (17:37:59,49) which are not allowed in file names.
Solution: Put e.g. %DATE%-%TIME% into a variable and replace its colons (:) with a hyphen (-) with Batchfiles SET - Variable Editing.
SET FileName=SomethingFrom%DATE%-%TIME%.txt
SET FileName=%FileName::=_%
A quick fix for simple problem. I just didn't know until now that search and replace in strings was possible in batch files. Did old DOS already support this?
