Locale-independent one liner to get any date format you like  I use it to generate archive names  Back quote option is needed because PowerShell command line is using single quotes      Get date in yyyyMMdd HHmm format to use with file name  FOR  f  usebackq    i IN   PowerShell   Get-Date   ToString   yyyy-MM-dd      DO SET DTime   i     Get formatted yesterday date  FOR  f  usebackq    i IN   PowerShell   Get-Date   AddDays  -1   ToString   yyyy-MM-dd      DO SET DTime   i     Show file name with the date  echo Archive  DTime  zip

You get and format like this for  f  quot tokens 1-4 delims    quot    i in   quot  date  quot   do        set dow   i      set month   j      set day   k      set year   l   set datestr  month   day   year  echo datestr is  datestr   Note  Above only works on US locale  It assumes the output of echo  date  looks like this  Thu 02 13 21  If you have different Windows locale settings  you will need to modify the script based on your configuration
