Does anyone know about .bat files?

I'm trying to create a simple one, but don't have the slightest clue how to make it work. This is what I want to do:

Trying to create a .bat file. Almost have it correct, but need some tweaking. Basically, I want to rename the file to show today's date only. So the file would change from c:\folderA to c:\0823 (or whatever the current date is). This what I've created as a test so far:

@ECHO OFF

XCOPY c:\test1\* c:\test2\*

(HERE IS NEED TO CHANGE DIRECTORY NAME WITH FILE NAMED AS OF CURRENT DATE HERE)

Is there a way to do that? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.
