How to rename a directory or file in Windows PowerShell? Can I use the old "ren" command?
✍: FYIcenter.com
Yes, you can still use the old "ren" command in Windows PowerShell. But "ren" is defined as an alias of the "Rename-Item" cmdlet.
The "Rename-Item" cmdlet changes the name of a specified item, for example a directory or a file in on file system. This cmdlet does not affect the content of the item being renamed.
You cannot use Rename-Item to move an item, such as by specifying a path along with the new name. To move and rename an item, use the Move-Item cmdlet.
The "Rename-Item" cmdlet requires 2 minimum parameters:
The example commands below shows how to use the "Rename-Item" cmdlet to rename a directory and a file:
PS C:\fyicenter> # Renaming a directory PS C:\fyicenter> Rename-Item logs temp PS C:\fyicenter> # Renaming a file PS C:\fyicenter> Rename-Item temp\today.log temp.txt PS C:\fyicenter> dir temp Directory: C:\fyicenter\temp Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a--- 5/1/2016 7:12 PM 16 temp.log
