@d_m_g_3 Thanks for testing & pointing this out! I’m in the US & using English (United States) as my region, but taking a quick glance at a few different formats in the Regional Settings, I can see where my script could easily fail.

I’ll update the post to point out that it’s based on US regional settings.

For my region (United Kingdom), the following works

SET TimeStamp=
for /f “tokens=1-3 delims=/” %%a in (’echo %date%’) do SET DATESTR=%%c%%b%%a
for /f “tokens=1-4 delims=:.” %%a in (’echo %time%’) do SET TIMESTR=%%a%%b%%c%%d
SET TimeStamp=%datestr%%timestr%

Not on my system (Windows XP ENU)

TimeStamp=04200915113962

The current date time is 08 April 2009 15:11

I think maybe your solution only works for your Regional Settings?
