Download "jon-server-3.3-update-04.zip" on a Windows machine. In "apply-updates.bat" we have: rem Calculate time stamp. set MM=%date:~4,2% set DD=%date:~7,2% set YY=%date:~12,2% On a UK machine: echo %date% 25/01/2016 echo %date:~4,2% 1/ echo %date:~7,2% 01 echo %date:~12,2% ECHO is on. (the result is an empty string, so it reacts to just 'echo') On a Dutch machine: echo %date% ma 25/01/2016 echo %date:~4,2% 5/ echo %date:~7,2% 1/ echo %date:~12,2% 6 In other words: the string manipulation will only work reliable if used on a United States machine. In other countries, this will not only fail to get the correct date, but will make the script break when using these as a filename. Solution: - do no presume everyone is US based. - port the script use Powershell, which since Windows Vista is always available. - use wmic: @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set DT= for /f "delims=" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime ^| find "."') do set DT=%%a set DT=%DT:~0,8% echo %DT% -> YYYYMMDD or use 2,8 to get YYMMDD if you prefer
