Question

Is there a way to get time using a Windows command? If not, can the date and time commands output be modified?

For example date in Windows gives the date with / etc. I would like to get an output that has no special characters such as / :

Answer 1

To get time in the “yyyymmdd” format, try this:

for /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %i in ('date /t') do echo %k%i%j

Also you can do it this way:

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