DateEcho

Purpose

DateEcho echoes (sic!) the current date or time or both to STDOut. As you might know, STDOut can be redirected to a file via the > or >> operator, like MyTool.exe >> file.txt.

Because of this, the results of DateEcho can be either used to display date/time in a command prompt window or insert into/redirected to a file.
