How to rename a file using the current time

01. %.GetLogTimeP% %.Quiet%
02. REN "FileName.ext" "%#LogTimeP%.ext"

This will rename FileName.ext to hhmnsshs.ext

^
/
!\

Always put file names "in quotes" to avoid errors when any part of the file name or it's path contain embedded spaces or reserved characters.

How to rename a file using the current time and date

01. (%.GetLogTimeP% & %.GetLogDate%) %.Quiet%
02.
REN "FileName.ext" "%#LogDate%-%#LogTimeP%.ext"

How to rename multiple files using the current time and date

01. (%.GetLogTimeP% & %.GetLogDate%) %.Quiet%
02.
FOR %%A IN (FileSpec [...]) DO @(
03.    REN "%%~dpnA" "%%~dpnA_%#LogDate%-%#LogTimeP%%%~xA"
04. )

%%~dpnA = Drive, Path and FileName only (no extension)
%%~xA   
= Extension only, including the . prefix (".doc")

The above example will append "_yyyymmdd-hhmnsshs" to each filename matching the FileSpec while preserving the correct extension.

For example, if FileSpec = "*.doc", each file matching *.doc will be renamed to
 "OriginalDocumentName_20030101-07053007.doc"
