RJ-TimeLogger is a basic batch file time recording application / script. I wrote it for a specific task, and thought I would share it.

With no prerequisites RJ-TimeLogger can run on any Windows system, eg: it can be stored on a shared network drive and then run from any PC / server your logged into. Creates a simple ‘audit’ or ‘Time Log’ CSV with a choice of 2 date formats out of the box. Optionally runs in a loop for task recording.

Date formats, CSV format etc can all be easily modified to suit your requirements. This script can be used as is, or as snippet for a script your building.

Simply create the files, and copy the code.
