I like to pipe a system variables to another variable at a MS DOS shell
without using a file.
At the command line it should look like this

C:> var1 < date /t                                // this will cause an
error
C:> copy name.txt name%var1.txt
or
C:> set var1= | date /t                         // this will show only
the date
C:> copy name.txt name%var1.txt

How can I submit the output of a command to a Variable?

Stephan
