how to make bat file to read, set system date

[imported_smile]

Hi, I need a bat file to:

START

1. Read system date
2. Store read date in variable X or if impossible in text file.
3. Change system date to 2008-08-02 (format is YMD)
4. Run command sc start myservice (start windows service)
5. Read the stored date from variable X or text file.
6. Set system time to variable X
7. (optional) remove file where variable was stored if a file was used.

END

Any hep would be appreciated.

I found the read data example but don't know how to store it , then call it , and set time etc.

:: Get system's current date into multiple variables
@echo off
if "%1"=="GoTo" goto %2
echo e180 BF 07 01 B4 04 CD 1A E8 02 00 89 CA E8 00 00> %temp%.\t1.src
echo e18F 86 D6 88 D0 D4 10 0D 30 30 86 C4 AB 47 C3>> %temp%.\t1.src

echo SET %%1=XX XX XX XX> %temp%.\t2.bat

What's the point? There might be a better way.

What timebombed service are you trying to start?
