Some poking around technet gave me the following:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh"><span style="display:flex;"><span>%date:~-4,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~-7,2%&lt;/pre&gt;</span></span></code></pre></div> <p>This will create an ISO-style date format out of a date in US locale settings.</p>
