Formatting -CreateDate in an ARG file

[copyrightimage]

Hello everybody, my first post so please be kind!

I'm after formatting datetime so that I don't get the time also, its easy to do on the command line

-createdate -d %d/%m/%y

however when I call the same line as an arg file I get nothing.
I have tried various escape characters but to no avail, would love to know the answer to this one, any help appreciated.

Many thanks

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Hello everybody, my first post so please be kind!

Kind?  I don't know...

I'll try.

I'm after formatting datetime so that I don't get the time also, its easy to do on the command line

-createdate -d %d/%m/%y

however when I call the same line as an arg file I get nothing.

The argfile is one argument per line, so it should look like this:

Code Select Expand

-createdate
-d
%d/%m/%y

(sorry for the underline, I realize that wasn't very kind but I wanted to emphasize this because it is a common mistake)

Thanks Phil, much appreciated, I'm usually the one telling somebody off for not reading instructions carefully, funny to be on the receiving end!

My arg file work fine now, many thanks for this and all your efforts in making something so useful.
