I think you need a third variable for storing your formatted date.
Since DATE is a system variable you can't changed it.

Lots of info on the net. Google is your friend!

Anyways this should work:

for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do md c:\TEST\TTT\%%f.%%e.%%g
for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do md c:\TEST\TTT\%%e.%%f.%%g

Now it makes the folder fine but when i run this command then it didn't go to 21.11.2011 folder what should i do now???

exp userid=HR/HR@oracledump file="c:\ORABACKUP\PERM\%%f.%%e.%%g"\HR.DMP log="c:\ORABACKUP\PERM\%%f.%%e.%%g\HR%fdate%%ftime%.log

Where does it go? What is between the code where you make the directory and this:

exp userid=HR/HR@oracledump file="c:\ORABACKUP\PERM\%%f.%%e.%%g"\HR.DMP log="c:\ORABACKUP\PERM\%%f.%%e.%%g\HR%fdate%%ftime%.log

I am rusty in batch files, but I believe if you have something between them, then the vars gets ruined.

Actually you didn't understand here is the whole code in batch file


for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do md c:\ORABACKUP\PERM\%%f.%%e.%%g
exp userid=HR/HR@dummy file=c:\ORABACKUP\PERM\%%f.%%e.%%g\HR.DMP


it makes the directory fine and also it finds the path like this "c:\ORABACKUP\PERM" but it didn't find complete path

file=c:\ORABACKUP\PERM\%%f.%%e.%%g

i mean it didn't find date folder(22.11.2011)

you have to save the "date" to a variable first, we will call it 'today':

@ECHO off
for /f "tokens=1-5 delims=/ " %%d in ("%date%") do set today=%%f.%%e.%%g
echo %today%

this is wrong as you can see from the print out:

set file=c:\ORABACKUP\PERM\%%f.%%e.%%g
echo %file%

So, use the today variable to "find the complete path":

set file=c:\ORABACKUP\PERM\%today%
echo %file%

Understand?
