If you put [ code ] tags around your source it'll make more pleasant reading. I don't do a lot of work with .BAT files - I'm tempted to say 'get a real shell' but I seem to remember the SET command is quite flexible and useful; maybe you can get the output of the TIME / DATE commands into a variable with it or something like that?

Hopefully this helps. I'm too lazy to investigate further.
