I don't think you can do that by using only the commandline. You could try to create a script though, and run it via WSH<br />
<br />
Here's an example script which gets the date/time of a file, among others. <br />
<a href="http://www.winscripter.com/WSH/FileIO/68.aspx" rel="ugc">http://www.winscripter.com/WSH/FileIO/68.aspx</a><br />
<br />
For copying the file, you can do something like fso.CopyFile(src,dest,true<wbr />); &nbsp;(see this other script which performs copying: <a href="http://www.winscripter.com/WSH/FileIO/290.aspx" rel="ugc">http://www.winscripter.com/WSH/FileIO/290.aspx</a>)<br />

I need to know if I can append the timestamp to the end of the filename using the command line in Windows XP. I have a couple of jobs in Unix, where I can do this, and I need help doing this in Windows.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
I have a file: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;CCAOPCL.txt (it always has this name)<br />
<br />
I want to copy that file to:<br />

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
