batch files and date -uformat

Just noticed that if you call get-date with -uforrmat via bat file and command prompt differs a little bit  - calling from bat file requires a double percent sign:

e.g.:
this will work from command prompt:
powershell get-Date -uformat %D

but to work in batch file it needs to be:
powershell get-Date -uformat %%D

(which I suppose is logical if the batch syntax is taken into account)

Re: batch files and date -uformat

Good point, I've added a note on the PS Powershell.exe page about this.
