|---|---|---|---|---|
| 💾 | ❔ | Name | Description | Remarks |
| 💾 | ❔ | AtFuture.bat | Schedule a command a few minutes from now in the near future | This batch file was a coproduction with Rob Fuller. |
| 💾 | ❔ | DateAdd.bat | Add/subtract a specified number of days to/from a specified date | Use REGEDIT. Based on Fliegel-Van Flandern Julian date conversion algorithms from the Astronomical Almanac, provided by Doctor Fenton on the Math Forum and converted to batch code by Ron Bakowski. |
| 💾 | ❔ | DateDiff.bat | Calculate the difference in days between two dates | |
| 💾 | ❔ | DateFmt.bat | Show the current date in the specified format | Inspired by Simon Sheppard's GetDate.bat. |
| 💾 | ❔ | DatePart.cmd | Return the specified part of the current date | Uses WMIC. |
| 💾 | ❔ | DateTime.cmd | Return the current date as errorlevel in YYYYMMDD format | Written by Justin. Tested only in Windows XP. Requires modifications to work on non-English systems. |
| 💾 | ❔ | Easter.bat | Calculate dates for Easter Day, Ascension Day and Pentecost for any year | Uses REGEDIT. Easter Day algorithm found at Simon Kershaw's Keeping the Feast. Julian date conversions based on Fliegel-Van Flandern algorithms from the Astronomical Almanac, provided by Doctor Fenton on the Math Forum and converted to batch code by Ron Bakowski. |
| 💾 | ❔ | iDate.bat | Read the date format setting from the registry | Uses REG.EXE. |
| 💾 | ❔ | IsDate.bat | Tests if the specified date is a valid date | |
| 💾 | ❔ | IsDST.bat | Tests if the current or specified date/time is in Daylight Saving Time | Warning: Changes the system date up to 65 times, which may cause problems for domain members. Use entirely at your own risk. VBScript and C# versions are safer to use. |
| 📦 | ❔ | IsRTCSet.bat | Check if the CMOS Real Time Clock is set, and return an errorlevel greater than 0 if not | Uses DEBUG to read the RTC status from the CMOS. |
| 💾 | ❔ | iTime.bat | Read the time format setting from the registry | Uses REG.EXE. |
| 💾 | ❔ | LeapYear.bat | Check if the specified year is a leap year or not | Code to extract current year by Simon Sheppard. |
| 💾 | ❔ | Now.bat | Display the current time in HHmmss format with any delimiter you want | Uses DEBUG. |
| 📦 | ❔ | PMSoon.bat | Schedule at relative times instead of absolute times | A "clone" of the Windows NT 4 Server Resource Kit's SOON command using NT's native NET Time and AT commands only. |
| 💾 | ❔ | sDate.bat | Read the date separator (delimiter) setting from the registry | Uses REG.EXE. |
| 💾 | ❔ | SetDate.bat | Store the current day in an environment variable | Code is more complex than usual to allow it to be used in any NT version; as of Windows 2000 the %DATE% variable can be used instead. |
| 💾 | ❔ | SetTime.bat | Store the current time in an environment variable | As of Windows 2000 the %TIME% variable can be used instead. |
| 💾 | ❔ | SortDate.bat (2.*) | Store sorted date in variable, independent of Control Panel's "Regional Settings" | Uses REG.EXE. |
| 💾 | ❔ | SortDate.bat (3.*) | Uses REGEDIT. | |
| 💾 | ❔ | SortDate.bat (4.*) | Uses code from Simon Sheppard's GetDate.bat to convert the current date to YYYYMMDD format. This technique is not entirely language independent, though it does not depend on regional settings. |
|
| 💾 | ❔ | SortDate.bat (5.*) | Uses WMIC. | |
| 💾 | ❔ | SortTime.bat (2.*) | Store sorted time in variable, independent of Control Panel's "Regional Settings" | Uses REG.EXE. |
| 💾 | ❔ | SortTime.bat (3.12) | Uses REGEDIT. | |
| 💾 | ❔ | SortTime.bat (3.40) | Uses REGEDIT and FINDSTR. | |
| 💾 | ❔ | StarDate.bat | Convert current date and time to stardate | Algorithm found on The Star Trek Gallery. |
| 💾 | ❔ | StarDateXP.bat | Convert current date and time to stardate | Algorithm found on The Star Trek Gallery. Uses WMIC. |
| 💾 | ❔ | sTime.bat | Read the time separator (delimiter) setting from the registry | Uses REG.EXE. |
| 💾 | ❔ | Today.bat | Display the current date in DDMMYYYY or YYYYMMDD format, with any delimiter you want | Uses DEBUG. |
| 💾 | ❔ | TodayNow.bat | Display the current date and time in YYYYMMDDHHmmss format without any delimiters | Uses DEBUG. |
| 💾 | ❔ | Week.bat | Display the current week number. | Uses REGEDIT. |
| 💾 | ❔ | WeekXP.bat | Display the current ISO week number. | More accurate than the NT version Uses WMIC. |
| 💾 | ❔ | Yesterday.bat | Display yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's date in two formats | Uses REGEDIT if REG is not available. |
DATE /T and TIME /T commands, depending on the Regional Settings used.DATE /T does not return the Day Of Week, only MM/DD/YY.FOR %%A IN (%Date%) DO SET Today=%%ADIR's time stamp uses HH:mm AM or PM in XP, instead of 2000's HH:mma or m.page last modified: 2012年11月18日; loaded in 0.0185 seconds
