I need to do a daily sweep of a folder to see if any file(s) have been put into it. If there is a file I need to move it to another location and add the current date and time to the original file name. I know how to use .. get-ChildItem E:\DATADUMP –Recurse To pull the file names and directories to a text file (or variable) I know how to move an item while at the same time changing its name $RUN = "NEW_FILE_NAME_" $MONTH = Get-Date -format MMMM $YEAR = Get-Date -format yyyy $DAY = Get-Date -format dd $D = "_" $DMY = "$RUN$MONTH$D$DAY$D$YEAR" Copy-Item E:\DATADUMP E:\DIFFRENT_LOCATION\$DMY.txt [Returns a file called [NEW_FILE_NAME_January_25_2014.txt] The problem is that this changes the extension to “.txt” and fully renames the file. I will be getting files of all types and I simply need to move them to a different folder and add the date and time to them while keeping the rest of the original file name and extension. For example if I got the file Test001.doc I would want it be moved from the original folder to the different folder and be called January_25_2014_102am_Test001.doc (The original Test001.doc file would no longer be in the E:\DATADUMP folder) There may or may not be a file extension and if there is not a file extension there may or may not be a period are the end of the file name. Also there may or may not be any file in the E:\DATADUMP folder at any given running of the script or there may be a lot of files. Any help would be huge, I feel like I keep going down rabbit holes and it is time to ask for help. Thank you, -Dan
