Save log file as date {batch script output file}

Hi Experts!  I have another question since I can't seem to get it right and don't have the time to play with it.

I have a script that copies text from multiple text files and dumps it to a single "master" text file.  I need the single/master text file to have the name that matches the date that is being searched.

Example; if I am looking for the data for 03/13/2014, I need the master text file to be named Master_Log_File_03-13-2014.log.  The very first thing the script does is asks what date you are searching for:

How can I set the text file to be named what the search date is?  Thanks for your help.

) else (
