    How do you convert date format from dd/mm/yyyy to yyMMdd?

    Reply Contact

    Hello all,

    I have my IIS to record daily so the log name is ex091022.log.  I want logparser to find the log that has the current date similar to "select * from ex%date%.log"

    The only problem is that %date% returns 10/22/09 and that will not automatically grab the right log. I want to grab the date in the yyMMdd format.  Is this possible?

     My logparser statement works great but this is the only problem.  I am going to save the logparser query as a .bat file and let task schedular run this everday at a certain time so that way it automatically grabs the current date's log and slaps it into SQL.

    Add this line to the beginning of your batch file

    for /f "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do set jobday=%%c%%a%%b

    Now you can use %jobday% anywhere else in your batch file.
