Digital Clock Batch Script

This batch file script displays a digital clock that updates the current time and date on the console window. The time is shown in a continuously updating format with a rainbow color scheme that changes periodically.

Features

• Displays the current time and date.
• Changes the color of the console window in a rainbow sequence.
• Updates every second.

Requirements

• This script is designed to run on a Windows system (Windows 7 and above).
• The ping command is used to create a slight delay between updates.

How to Use

1. Copy the provided batch script into a new text file.
2. Save the file with the .bat extension (e.g., DigitalClock.bat).
3. Run the batch file by double-clicking it.
4. The digital clock will start and continuously display the current time and date with changing colors.

How It Works

• The script uses the color command to change the console text color.
• A loop (for %%c in (%colors%)) cycles through a predefined set of colors (1 to 6) to create a rainbow effect.
• The time is fetched using the %time% variable, and the date using the %date% variable.
• The script uses the ping command to create a delay of approximately one second between updates.
