Batch File

[sham14]

I am writing a batch file and sending results to a file. I do not want the file overwritten everytime that i run it but i do want a seperate file for each time it is run so i am looking somehow to put some variable into the file name (for example time). So here is small example of what i want

Ipconfig/all >> file.txt ...........this works fine but the next time that i run the file i would like a something like file2.txt created.
The only other thing that i tried but was wrong syntax was trying to append the time at the end of the file. for example i tried the following
ipconfig/all >> file%time%.txt.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is a basic command line utility called "now.exe" this returns the time and date...you should be able to get the outcome as a variable and include this in your script.

could you please advise further how to do this as i can't even get now.exe command to work. I am using winxp.
