Command wont run in bacth file

[PSRPixel]

Morning All

I am new here and so the app is great and does more than I need it to.

I have my command to do what I want and it works on the command line but not ina batch file. I know it is to do with %. But I have tried and cant figure it. I am hoping someone here is better than me and can help me. My bat file text is below:-

Code Select Expand

mkdir %date:~-2,2%""%date:~-7,2%""%date:~-10,2%

:start

exiftool -r -d %date:~-2,2%""%date:~-7,2%""%date:~-10,2%/%H/%H%M%S%%-c.%%e "-filename<filemodifydate" "C:\Users\User\Desktop\FTP\A\A\DCIM"

timeout /t 60 /nobreak

goto start
I am sure it is a easy fit but I just cant see it myself.

Thank you in advance.

All "%" characters in the ExifTool command must be doubled (to "%%") in a .bat file.

Thank you, I have not done that. Also would the %%e be %%%%e or %%%e do you think?

%%%%e
