Deepak.DEMO.yyyymmdd
mcapatna.POWERHOUSE.yyyymmdd

where Deepak.DEMO & mcapatna.POWERHOUSE are fixed but yyyymmdd is variable depends on the year month & date.

I have to find this yyyymmdd using batch programming &
if possible than compare it with current date.if it is today date then proceed further otherwise move these file to different folder. I tried a lot but i am unable to do it.could someone please help me.

Please put the code you have tried so far with your question... For getting the files with "yyyymmdd" given, you can use the `dir /b *.` command. Check the `/b` switch at `dir /?`. — Daniel Luz, Jun 02 '16 at 19:41

for %%i in (Deepak.DEMO.* mcapatna.POWERHOUSE.*) do echo %%~xi

See here for a possible solution to get the date in the same format. Comparing for equality should be trivial.
