To get an exact answer you need to provide the actual situation which needs to be edited or modified.
A batch file can change a string, but the way it is being changed and the makeup of the string is important.

The date command does that at the command prompt.
Type date /? for help.

Good thing. Shouldn't be using MS-DOS anymore anyways.

then perhaps I can not explain I can relate if at least I can understand I do not speak English well?
everything I have asked for and if there is a way to change only the date of the calendar year but only without the days or months, ess: if I write (date 01/01/2015) changes the date 01/01/2015 in the calendar, is there a way to change just one year without the day and the month? like so: (date %%/%%/2013)

Code: Select all
@echo off
set year=2015
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=.-/" %%i in ("%date%") do date %%i/%%j/%year%
exit /b
Run as administrator.

You're going to confuse the poor guy.
I feel like somebody should explain to Oleg that there's a difference between MS-DOS and the modern Windows command line. MS-DOS is an operating system that's very rarely used anymore and its command line is command.com, which is a 16-bit program that has limited scripting capabilities compared to the modern command line. The modern command line is cmd.exe, which is a 32-bit program.
