K:bin>type get_date_without_space.bat

SET DATE_WITH_SPACE=%DATE%

FOR /F "TOKENS=1-2" %I IN ("%DATE_WITH_SPACE%") DO SET DATE_WITHOUT_SPACE=%I_%J

ECHO %DATE_WITHOUT_SPACE%


This doesn't work. Why?



K:bin>get_date_without_space.bat

K:bin>SET DATE_WITH_SPACE=Fri 11/16/2018

DATE_WITH_SPACEI_J was unexpected at this time.



K:bin>FOR /F "TOKENS=1-2" DATE_WITH_SPACEI_J

    In a batch-file the for meta variables need to have a doubled percent sign, single ones are only for the cmd line.

I've tried rebooting, and even looked for the old-style lockfile to delete, but I guess that method is no longer used. Is there some way to force unlock this so I can run apt-mirror? UPDATE: So...
