How to log current timestamp inside a for loop in windows shell?
below is the output where i'm getting the same times tamp throughout the loop., where i'm expecting that to log the current time stamp..
Code:
C:\Users\ilango>for /l %i in (1,1,5) do echo [%DATE% %TIME%]  for %i

C:\Users\ilango>echo [Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 1
[Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 1

C:\Users\ilango>echo [Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 2
[Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 2

C:\Users\ilango>echo [Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 3
[Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 3

C:\Users\ilango>echo [Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 4
[Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 4

C:\Users\ilango>echo [Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 5
[Wed 01/13/2010  0:00:57.44]  for 5

Ok, found a solution myself..

Code:
C:\Users\ilango\test>for /l %i in (1,1,5) do (VER | TIME | FINDSTR /R /C:"[0-9]"
) & echo for %i

C:\Users\ilango\test>(VER   | TIME   | FINDSTR /R /C:"[0-9]" )  & echo for 1
The current time is:  0:24:46.78
for 1

C:\Users\ilango\test>(VER   | TIME   | FINDSTR /R /C:"[0-9]" )  & echo for 2
The current time is:  0:24:46.82
for 2

C:\Users\ilango\test>(VER   | TIME   | FINDSTR /R /C:"[0-9]" )  & echo for 3
The current time is:  0:24:46.87
for 3

C:\Users\ilango\test>(VER   | TIME   | FINDSTR /R /C:"[0-9]" )  & echo for 4
The current time is:  0:24:46.90
for 4

C:\Users\ilango\test>(VER   | TIME   | FINDSTR /R /C:"[0-9]" )  & echo for 5
The current time is:  0:24:46.95
for 5

C:\Users\ilango\test>

but still, i don't understand why the earlier one didn't work!!?
