How to display current Windows OS date, time and timezone in CLI?
In Linux, printing out date, time, and timezone can be easily accomplished with date
command
[user@linux ~]$ date
Sun Mar 10 11:51:55 -04 2018
[user@linux ~]$
-4
before after the time and before the year represents timezone (-4).
This is in Python ....
[user@linux ~]$ python
Python 2.7.5 (default, May 3 2017, 07:55:04)
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
>>> import time
>>> print (time.strftime("\n Date: %d %B %Y, %H:%M:%S %Z\n"))
Date: 11 March 2018, 00:05:50 EST
>>>
I was wondering how to perform the same thing on Windows OS using native windows command?
echo %date%-%time%
command can only produce day, date, dan time. However timezone is not there.
C:\> echo %date%-%time%
Sun 03/10/2018-11:56:05.31
C:\>
What I'm expecting is something like this.
C:\> <some windows command>
Sun Mar 10 11:51:55 -04 2018
C:\>
or
C:\> <some windows command>
Date: 11 March 2018, 00:05:50 EST
C:\>
Solution 1:
You can use this to output the current date, time, and time zone:
echo %date% %time% & tzutil /g
Or if you want to output them in a single line:
for /f "tokens=*" %i in ('tzutil /g') do echo %date% %time% %i
Take note that you need to change %i
to %%i
if you want to put them in a batch file.
