DOS BATCH SCRIPTING 1

[muralisai25]

Hi All,
Does anyone have a sample plain MS DOS script to display date in mm-dd-yyyy or mm-dd-yy format. When i do a Date /T in the dos window i get the current date in the followong format Fri 05/14/2004 but i would like display it as 05-14-2004 or 05-14-04. Please advise.
Thanks

Try this:

for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set dt=%%%j-%%k-%%l
echo %dt%

hi Corbin,
I copied your statement in a batchfile and added a pause at the end to see the results. All i get is the Year 2004.
I do not see 05-14-2004 or 05-14-04
Please advise
