Append Date to a Filename

Hi,
How can I append the current system Date to file name in batch DOS file.

E.g file name using in batch file is test.txt, it should be text_052803.txt(in the format of MMDDYY)

Thanks

Hi Hrishy,
Thanks for your time and help, I type exactly the same code in my batch file and when I execute from the DOS I get "syntax error" msg.

Can you please help me.

Thanks.
