I would have never found it...
Regarding the colons you mentioned, that is why I wrote "suppose'.

OK.
By help message I suppose you mean the one shown when I type for /? I on the command prompt?

Suppose
Dir /a-D /b >%date%%time%.txt

Time would have advanced so %date%%time%.txt won't be found.

Like I said,... Alzheimer & brain damage!
Perhaps examples to use one or the other will help.
Are there instances where one will work but not the other (and vice versa)?

Thank you Steffen!
