Rename-Item

Is it possible to put a variable in a system path? Here is my example:

Rename-Item - path "c:\powershell scripts\$variable\file1.txt" - NewName test.txt

I get an error that the item does not exist and I think it's because the $variable is not evaluated to right. I put single quotes around the path due to the space inbetween powershell and scripting. Is there another way to do this?

The trick is in quotation marks, apostrophes = no substitution of variables, double quotes = substitution of variables.

But there are other ways to do it as well.

You can use the concatention operator, such as

Rename-Item -path ('c:\powershell scripts\' + $variable + '\file1.txt') -NewName test.txt

    Hello guys,.

  • Renaming of files using the batch file or other means of batch

    I have several hundred .pdf files and would like rename them by removing the first 10 characters of each file name.

    Is there a .bat file or an easy way to do this?

    Thank you very much.

    All the first 10 characters of each file name are the same.

    I love this PowerShell command, but it only works if you take the same on each file name.

    Get-Item. \ *. * | ForEach-Object {Rename-Item $_ ($_.)} (Nom: remplacer "a", "b")}

    It gets a list of all files in a folder, then for each one, replaces the letter A with the letter b. anywhere in the file name.  Of course you can tweak it how you want to replace ""-copy "with" "(empty string to null), or anything else."  I use it often.

  • Library of the Illustrator rename Bug

    I find a bug rename items in my library. Specifically, after that I selected and point and choose "Rename" from the context menu, the name of the library item is highlighted and seems to be active, but if I start typing the result is that I'm starting to trigger different tools in the main document with their access keys. I then select the renamed text and I can rename if necessary.

    Thus, in order to rename, I now select the object, right-click, choose "Rename" from the context menu, then manually highlight the name of objects (even if it is highlighted) and type the new name. Not a great critical but annoying bug...

    * edit: I should mention that if I double click on the object in library rename, it works as expected

    Illustrator 2015.3.0

  • Is there a way to rename the "object/text box" in the layer in the Panel?

    I have a provision that has several near areas of text twice in the workflow in a layer, each of them with a minor copy change. What shows in the list of "items" in the layer is the first line of each (default) text box and it happens that they all start with the same text in each. Therefore, in the Panel, I have a list of several items that all look the same and I cannot differentiate between them when I click on an individual that I have them turn on and off.

    I am aware that I can rename the name of the layer itself, but is it possible to rename items in the inside Panel of the layer? I'd love to rename some of them.

    If this isn't the case, I guess I would have to duplicate the entire layer several times, rename the layer itself, each of them almost identical except for editing text in small characters each. Looks like it would be a lot of waste of resources and space in the file.

    Thank you

    You should be able to re - appoint any object similarly - click to highlight the name.

  • Rename the files in a directory by adding the date and time

    Hello

    I am looking for a way to rename all the files that are in a directory with an add-on at the end with the date and time.

    for example:

    File1-> file1ddmmyyhhmi

    File2-> file1ddmmyyhhmi

    for example:

    $A = get-date-Format "yyyymmddhhmm.

    foreach-object - process ...

    Thank you.

    You can try something like this

    $A=get-date -Format "yyyymmddhhmm"
    Get-ChildItem "C:\folder" | %{
         Rename-Item -NewName ($_.Basename + $A + $_.extension) -Path $_.FullName
    }
    

    This assumes that the files are stored in C:\folder

  • Reorganize the divs, rename the divs, scale SVG

    Hello

    I'm new to the responsive Web design and I'm currently learning all the new techniques. So please forgive if my questions are very basic.

    I know reflow is fairly recent. I am currently using the reflow to comp a responsive design to see how the workflow. It works pretty well and I can see use reflow in the future to connect with customers in the early stages of the design of a base with a minimum of effort and create what I can refine later. Of course it will be a great tool afterwards, when the customer decides to improve the existing site, especially when we can edit CSS or SCSS even within reflow.

    -Now, it is not possible to drag and drop for example an image in a div just by using the assets Panel. I know I can do this on my work space. This will be possible in the Panel Elements as well?

    -As of now by reflow decides how are named the divs. It will be possible to use an alias in the future that will be used during the deployment of the css and html?

    -J' uses SVG to my logo. It puts across the perfect within the page, but stops the scale when image reached its original size created in Illustrator. I'm doing something wrong here?

    What will be the future format with logos? SVG?

    -Now, it is not possible to drag and drop for example an image in a div just by using the assets Panel. I know I can do this on my work space. This will be possible in the Panel Elements as well?

    We are looking for the best ways to use the assets Panel, reorganization and parenting within this group are certainly part of this discussion.

    -As of now by reflow decides how are named the divs. It will be possible to use an alias in the future that will be used during the deployment of the css and html?

    You can rename the div tags in the current version. Double-click the status bar crumb of bread, or in the rename items pane.

    -J' uses SVG to my logo. It puts across the perfect within the page, but stops the scale when image reached its original size created in Illustrator. I'm doing something wrong here?

    SVG have a size, then you will need to use percentages if you want to scale above their size created. "Enlarge the logo" and new import could be an option.

    What will be the future format with logos? SVG?

    Well, some designers I know don't think that the quality of the SVG in the browser is their level. Line quality issues or aliases and performance seem to be the main reasons. If any Crystal, ball still. There was also problems of compatibility browser for a few years.

    I like the idea that I can not only my HTML code, but some of my icons and assets of logo of style without having to go back to IA or PSDs, I hope that we will get them soon!

  • How it happened and how to prevent it: type def cluster change causes the element starts up again

    Hi all

    I have a big nested type nested def cluster, several layers.  I have remove the clusters to use the feature "name" to use it.

    Somehow changing the def of big type causes unlustered elements starts up again.

    For example, the element is the element clustered and used, then after I modified the def type, I don't remember how, maybe remove some items, perhaps rename elements, then the element where B is the unlustered element and used.

    It is very scary because it just happened automatically and no broken error reported and this can spoil the entire application.

    It happen to someone else? How to prevent it?

    Many thanks for any help.

    A search on 'Ben', 'cluster' 'type def' to see that I've been bitten in the same way.

    The earch will reveal the various things that have been suggested according to the version of LV

    First rule of ben from cluster

    Avoid like the plague by deleting or renaming items.

    Other stuff:

    If you need to remove an item, change its representation to something that will break all instances for example change digital chain. Then go all the broken VI difficulty by throwing all the refs for the field you want to delte. And then delete.

    in the LV ealier version, better all the screws that use clusters that open when the change is made.

    In the recent version that neither recommended edititng cluster with all the appellants closed with the theory being that LV handles better the opening of VI.

    Given that I am "Of Ben first rule of the cluster" I don't run in the bug often with LV 2009.

    Compacted Outlook Express and save some of my emails.  Now, I need access to the following, but can not open them.  How to reopen these emails?

    Hi Redtiger1705,

    Lost emails immediately after compact preforming?
    If so, Outlook Express creates BAK files before compaction. They are copied there as a precaution, in case something goes wrong with the compaction. The following steps should help those rear:

    1) open Outlook Express and go to tools, Options, maintenance, store folder. Copy the entire path to the storage folder, and then click OK.  Close Outlook Express.

    (2) go to the basket and search for all files with the .bak extension.  Restore the most recent .bak files. That he will put in the OE store folder, but still like a BAK file.

    (3) click on start, run and paste the path that you copied in step 1 in the run box, and then press ENTER.

    4) click Tools, Folder Options. In the Folder Options window, click the view tab.
    (5) less advanced, uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types".
    (6) you should see the two sent a Sent Items.dbx from the file as well as the Items.bak. Rename the Sent Items.DBX to Sentold.dbx and Rename Items.Bak sent to Sent Items.DBX. When you open OE, your messages sent items must be restored.
    Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!

  • How can I set whose records are developed by default in Windows Explorer?

    I guess I'm not the only one having this problem:

    Windows Explorer expands always 'libraries' and other items directly under the desk at startup. It is really annoying, that I never use libraries, do not want the extended control panel, or what they think is my repertoire.

    Is there a way to customize it or simply to stop Windows Explorer to expand at startup at all? (The latter would be less desirable but still better than the status quo.)

    Thank you very much in advance!

  • change several names of file at a time

    I want to ask that how can I change the names of multiple files at once with different names...

    Depends on what you want to name too.  If you select 10 files, and then rename one while they are still selected, all 10 Gets the same name (but with a number appended to the end, since you can't have two files with the same name).

    If you want to make a massive "find and replace" in file names, such as the deletion of the word 'Copy' of 100 photos that all say "copy" in the name, you can also do this with the PowerShell command:

    Get-Item. \ *. * | ForEach-Object {Rename-Item $_ ($_.)} (Nom: remplacer "copier", "")}
