Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting [gnuwin32] sed & variable %TIME% Post 302559916 by Corona688 on Wednesday 28th of September 2011 12:23:40 PM

%TIME% | command is not the same thing as echo %TIME% | command. Without the echo, nothing gets fed into sed.

On my system, the date contains . too, so you you'd want to rip that out as well.

You can simplify your sed expression into -e "s/[:,.]//g"

You can't set variables in that fashion anyway. Windows CMD doesn't have backticks. It does have many strange options to SET and FOR some of which might be useful here.

'for' does have something like backticks but pipes don't work in it, and file redirection doesn't work outside of it...

This kludge works.

Code:
echo "%TIME%" | sed -e "s/[:,.]//g" > file.tmp
for /F %A in (file.tmp) DO SET TIEMPO1=%A
del /F /Q file.tmp
