Simple time changing .bat

Question

is it possible to make a .bat file that would work like this :

Get current date in dd.mm.yyyy format
Change date to desired one
Wait 60s
Change date back to its original state
exit

I know i can get current date by echo %date% and i get it in format dd.mm.yyyy but I have no idea how change it through one command, "set date" it's not working for me. I also know I could change date by simple command "date" then enter date but don't know how to automatize it. Can anyone write something like this?

You can pipe the new date into the `date` command like `echo 31-12-15|date`, or redirect from a text file like `< "\path\to\file\with\date.txt" date`... — aschipfl, Dec 02 '15 at 10:01

To change the date you need admin permissions !

You can do it like echo 05.12.15|date

You can see how you can see how to get the date in a specific format and here you can see few tricks how to wait in batch .

Here's the script - (run it with admin privileges !):

@if (@X)==(@Y) @end /* jscript commend
@echo off

set "desired_date=03.12.15"

:: execute jscript part and get the date in a specific format
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=- " %%A in ('cscript //E:JScript //nologo "%~f0"') do (
    set fdate=%%C.%%B.%%A
)

rem echo %fdate%

::change date
echo %desired_date%|date

::wait 60 seconds
typeperf "\IPv4\Datagrams Received/sec" -si 60 -sc 1 >nul 2>nul


::return date to its original state
echo %fdate%|date

exit /b 0
end of jscript commend*/

function GetCurrentDate() {
        // Today date time which will used to set as default date.
        var todayDate = new Date();
        todayDate = todayDate.getFullYear() + "-" +
                       ("0" + (todayDate.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "-" +
                       ("0" + todayDate.getDate()).slice(-2) + " " + ("0" + todayDate.getHours()).slice(-2) + ":" +
                       ("0" + todayDate.getMinutes()).slice(-2);

        return todayDate;
    }

WScript.Echo(GetCurrentDate());
