I use date > 1.txt
but it always requires pressing Enter. Does anyone have a better solution?

echo.|date>1.txt
That won't work. I remember that under NT, 2K, and XP you can use DATE /T to output the date; as for 9X, I don't know how to handle it.

What you get this way is not just the date, there are other characters too.

If you only want the date and time and can't have any other characters, then programs like TAD.EXE will do. For example:
TAD "Current date: $M $d,$Y ($D)$lCurrent time: $H:$n:$s
TAD "Current date: $M $d,$Y ($D)$lCurrent time: $H:$n:$s

Thanks, everyone. I've already solved it. I wrote a small program with TC2, very simple.
