You can use the NOWMINUS program. This program creates environment
variables containing date and time information. See <Q:08.15> [How can I
place date and time information into environment variables?] for more
information.
Here is an example of using NOWMINUS to rename the files thisweek.* to
{lastweeksdate}.*:
NOWMINUS d7 z7 f1 j0 vLASTWEEK
ren thisweek.* %LASTWEEK%.*
set LASTWEEK=
