batch file that copies a file to existing folder and renames it with current month and year

Question

I need to write a batch file that copies a file to existing folder and renames it with current month and year.

At the moment, my batch file consists of only this command:

@ECHO OFF copy /y D:\\SalesMixExp\\Sales_Mix_v1.2_082015.xlsx D:\\SalesMixExp\\Sales_Mix_v1.2_092015.xlsx**

I am running this every month and it works fine. But every time I am changing the newly created filename with current month and year. ie for ex: 092015 in my filename is sep2015 and for next month it should be automatically renamed as Sales_Mix_v1.2_102015

Please help me in resolving my problem. So that I don't have to change it every month.

Answer 1

At last I found the answer......

@echo off set Date=%date:~4,2%%date:~10,4% copy D:\\SalesMixExp\\Sales_Mix_v1.2_082015.xlsx D:\\SalesMixExp\\Sales_Mix_v1.2_%Date%.xlsx

But it works fine only when the file or folder names doesn't contain gaps.
