BatchFileDateFormat.bat

::See http://www.robvanderwoude.com/datetimentparse.php for lots of useful info on dates in batch files.  
::The script below assumes a locale of UK (i.e. %date% gives DD/MM/YYYY).

	@echo off

	::Split date & time into component parts; assumes dd/mm/yyyy
	FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2,3 DELIMS=/ " %%A IN ('echo %Date%') DO (SET dd=%%A&SET mm=%%B&SET yyyy=%%C)
	FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2,3 DELIMS=:. " %%A IN ('echo %Time%') DO (SET hh=%%A&SET mi=%%B&SET ss=%%C)

    ::join in order of greatest affector to least (i.e. a year is longer than a month, so comes first)
	SET strDateTime=%yyyy%%mm%%dd%%hh%%mi%%ss%

    ::output result
	echo %strDateTime%
