Can I use Now in batch files?

Not Rated 0 votes Rate this answer

Yes. Now is specifically designed for batch file and script integration. The formatted output goes to standard output (stdout), which can be redirected, piped, or captured in batch variables. This makes it easy to create timestamps for log files, dated filenames, and more.
