Try this:

@echo off

echo Day of month=%date:~x,2%

 

or, if you need leading zeros:

@echo off

set dom=%date:~x,2%

if %dom% LSS 10 set dom=0%date:~y,1%

echo Day of month=%dom%

 

Note that the format of the variable %date% is country-specific.

You must make x=4 and y=5 if you live in a European country,

and x=7 and y=8 (untested!) if you live in the USA.
