another solution which does not require the enter and return keys.
create a .bat file with the following in it:
echo|more|date|find "Current" >> %1
echo|more|time|find "Current" >> %1
I Named this NowStamp.bat
from within the original batch file, when ever you need the date & time type:
Call NowStamp c:\temp\logfile.txt
You will now have the date and time stamp in logfile.txt
Be sure to include the 'Call', so after NowStamp runs it will return to your
controlling batch file.

Step 1. Create a text file with just the enter or return keystroke in it.
Step 2. Pipe the text file into the time command (Time<Textfile) and the
results to your log (Time<Textfile >> Logfile).
This will also enter a line for "Enter new time:" into your log.
Step 3. Repeat step 2 with Date as the command.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Date and time in batch file
I am trying to write a batch file that will backup my quicken files to
floppy.
I would like to have the date and time written to a log file when the files
are
copied to the floppy. Is there a way to pass the date and time without
having
to press enter? Here is the file as I have it so far:
c:
cd\quicken\backup
xcopy32 *.* a: /r/i/c/h/k/e/y/f >>a:\qcopy.log
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
