ShadowFiend, this does not resolve my issue since i need the date to appear first

So do you want someone to make a program for you or someone that modifies/injects code in notepad since it doesn't appear to be any other way of doing this.

little by little im extracting bat file code off the internet to compile what i need. still having issues though
