   Sorry, but I am weak on FOR /F statements and having trouble with it. I   
   know it is a one line command but it is not picking up the "real"   
   values. I have tried various "tokens=" combinations without success.   
      
   I only need the realtime value to display the start and end times for   
   batch operations.
