I'm using code (from Windows batch: formatted date into variable ).

  1. How to get Mon=08 (2-digits), instead of Aug (3-alpha)?

  2. What is syntax for MKDIR using a variable? With leading \ I get "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." Without I get "access is denied."

     @echo off
 setlocal 
 for /f "skip=8 tokens=2,3,4,5,6,7,8 delims=: " %%D in ('robocopy /l * \ \  /ns /nc /ndl /nfl /np /njh /XF * /XD *') do (
 set "dow=%%D"
 set "month=%%E"
 set "day=%%F"
 set "HH=%%G"
 set "MM=%%H"
 set "SS=%%I"
 set "year=%%J"
 SET "DESTINATION=%%J%%E%%F%%G%%H%%I-EXTRACTION"
)

 echo Day of the week: %dow%
 echo Day of the month : %day%
 echo Month : %month%
 echo hour : %HH%
 echo minutes : %MM%
 echo seconds : %SS%
 echo year : %year%
 echo DESTINATION : %DESTINATION%

 endlocal

 MKDIR \%DESTINATION%\

  1. This would be an easy way to do it.

set "folder_name=%DATE:~10,4%%DATE:~4,2%%DATE:~7,2%%TIME:~0,2%%TIME:~3,2%%TIME:~6,2%-EXTRACTION" md "%folder_name%"

  1. In the above program you just need to put MKDIR "%DESTINATION%" before endlocal and the %DESTINATION% should be inside double quote.

MKDIR "%DESTINATION%" endlocal
