See Windows Batch File (.bat) to get current date in MMDDYYYY format:
@echo off
For /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (set mydate=%%c-%%a-%%b)
For /f "tokens=1-2 delims=/:" %%a in ('time /t') do (set mytime=%%a%%b)
echo %mydate%_%mytime%
If you prefer the time in 24 hour/military format, you can replace the second FOR line with this:
For /f "tokens=1-2 delims=/:" %%a in ("%TIME%") do (set mytime=%%a%%b)
C:> .\date.bat
2008-10-14_0642
If you want the date independently of the region day/month order, you can use "WMIC os GET LocalDateTime" as a source, since it's in ISO order:
@echo off
for /F "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims==" %%i in (`wmic os get LocalDateTime /VALUE 2^>NUL`) do if '.%%i.'=='.LocalDateTime.' set ldt=%%j
set ldt=%ldt:~0,4%-%ldt:~4,2%-%ldt:~6,2% %ldt:~8,2%:%ldt:~10,2%:%ldt:~12,6%
echo Local date is [%ldt%]
C:>test.cmd
Local date is [2012-06-19 10:23:47.048]
- Launch Windows PowerShell, and wait a moment for the
PS command prompt to appear
Navigate to the directory where the script lives
PS> cd C:\my_path\yada_yada\ (enter)
Execute the script:
PS> .\run_import_script.ps1 (enter)
What am I missing??
Or: you can run the PowerShell script from cmd.exe like this:
powershell -noexit "& ""C:\my_path\yada_yada\run_import_script.ps1""" (enter)
according to this blog post here
Or you could even run your PowerShell script from your C# application :-)
Asynchronously execute PowerShell scripts from your C# application

Raymond Chen describes this kind of question as an Arms Race. Assume S is the technique to spoof such injections. Then one would see the question here, how do I detect if S was used to inject mouse/keyboard input? The point of this flag is that Microsoft decided that spoofing is possible but detectable.
