Automating part of a task

I've just read a new post from Bartek Bielawski from the Hey Scripting Guy blog on partially automating tasks. I totally agree with at least starting to automate the process. You'll need to start somewhere and having a production script doing work is a step in the right direction. We can always revise the script as needed in most cases.

Rename multiple files from one type to another

Here's the command that will rename multiple csv files to txt files.

get-childitem *.csv | foreach { rename-item $_ $_.Name.Replace(".csv", ".txt") }

I got this certificate from my email today. Really happy that this was a great experience and learned a lot in the process. :)
