Setting Variables

SET Orange_Time=??
SET Orange_Date=??
SET Blue_Time=??
SET Blue_Date=??
and so on with as many variables.

FOR %%V IN (Orange Blue Red Green) DO (
  ECHO %%%V_Time%
  ECHO %%%V_Date%
)

How can I add the _Date/_Time to any item from that array and make the cmd recognize it like being one of the variables I've set earlier?
I want to do something like that. Is it possible?

Re: Setting Variables

Try this:
** UNTESTED **

FOR %%V IN (Orange Blue Red Green) DO (
  call ECHO %%%%V_Time%%
  call ECHO %%%%V_Date%%
)

Re: Setting Variables

Or perhaps (untested):

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

FOR %%V IN (Orange Blue Red Green) DO (
  ECHO !%%V_Time!
  ECHO !%%V_Date!
)

Re: Setting Variables

Or:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
FOR %%V IN (Orange Blue Red Green) DO (
     SET %%V_Time=%TIME%
     SET %%V_Date=%DATE%
)
SET | FIND "_Time"
SET | FIND "_Date"
PAUSE
