For /F "tokens=1" %%a in ('date/t') do md %%a

md %date%*

md *%date%

Failed testing under XP
Even with quotes, it cannot be created correctly

For /F "tokens=1" %%a in ('date/t') do md %%a

%date:~0,4%%date:~5,2%%date:~8,2%

%date:~4,4%%date:~9,2%%date:~12,2%

These statements can only be used on XP. Can you tell me how to use the same statement to work on both XP and WIN2K? Please, all the experts come up with a solution

You can first use findstr ver to determine the operating system.
I just encountered the problem of different date formats under win2000 and xp in the morning. Annoying ah.
