Sounds like your date format is in “Day Month/Date/Year” format, in which case you want

%date:~-4,4%%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%

Hi all, how to take out the “0″ in month?

Example:
The date is 11/02/2011. If it is 02, I may just want single digit “2″ instead of “02″. If it is 12 then may keep both digits “12″.

thanks all.

There’re diferent data format given by “echo %date%_%time%” command.
1. 03/08/2011_12:05:31.12
2. Thu 03/03/2011_07:38 PM
3. 2011-03-08_12:05:31.12
It might be quite difficult to get the date and time by parsing a string given by “echo %date%_%time%” command.
I’ve choosen to use “realdate.com” executable to get data and time: http://www.huweb.hu/maques/realdate.htm
