    Looking at @JRL’s answer… If it’s truly that hard, perhaps use PowerShell and then do similar to Powershell's Get-date: How to get Yesterday at 22:00 in a variable?

    You can call to PowerShell in a bat file like so: Use bat to start Powershell script

    You’ll end up with a three or four liner solution rather than the 100 or so written (immaculately I’ll add) by Rob Van der Woude.

    Good luck…
