I'm having a moment, can you help? :-)

I just want to set up a .bat file in my windows box to take a log file,
rename it with a date/timestamp and then move /copy it off to another dir.

It's the setting of date/time vars and/or calling them correctly when I try to
envoke a rename command on the target file that eludes me.


I found the following but it's not setting the date/time var up correctly and
does not work

c:
cd\hub\logs

for /f "delims=" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime  ^| find "."') do set
"dt=%%a"
set "YY=%dt:~2,2%"
set "YYYY=%dt:~0,4%"
set "MM=%dt:~4,2%"
set "DD=%dt:~6,2%"
set "HH=%dt:~8,2%"
set "Min=%dt:~10,2%"
set "Sec=%dt:~12,2%"

set datestamp=%YYYY%%MM%%DD%
set timestamp=%HH%%Min%%Sec%
set fullstamp=%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%_%HH%-%Min%-%Sec%

ren "c:\hub\logs\fecho.txt" "%fullstamp%.txt"
goto done
