SET DATE_WITH_SPACE=%DATE%

FOR /F "TOKENS=1-2" %I IN ("%DATE_WITH_SPACE%") DO SET DATE_WITHOUT_SPACE=%I_%J

ECHO %DATE_WITHOUT_SPACE%


This doesn't work. Why?



K:bin>get_date_without_space.bat

DATE_WITH_SPACEI_J was unexpected at this time.

FOR /F "TOKENS=1-2" %%I IN ("%DATE_WITH_SPACE%") DO SET DATE_WITHOUT_SPACE=%%I_%%J


The meta variables are I and J and the original code used %I and %J instead of %%I and %%J.
