Note: I’m a beginner to Powershell and a bit more familiar with Bash (though still a beginner for that too).
*I have multiple PDF files and I want to rename each file based on a list of names found in an Excel/CSV (could be a text file if easier) file.
*The list begins at the A2 cell and the A1 cell has the header ‘name’.
*The files are in sequential order and match the order of the list of names.
Thanks for your help!
That will crash if there is more than one line in individuals.txt, because by the second iteration ‘.\_2023 Summary Page.docx’ has been renamed.
I see. Any suggestions on how to correct it?
Just use Copy-Item instead of Rename-Item if you want multiple identical files with different names
Actually they’re all different files.
Then the snippet won’t work because it only ever renames/copies the file
'_2023 Summary Page.docx'. What are the actual names of the files you want to rename?
