Question:
I am working with PowerShell to create a renaming script for a number of files in a directory.
Two questions here:
I have a string variable $strPrefix = "ACV-100-"
and an integer counter $intInc = 000001
and I wish to increment the counter $intInc
1 -> 2 and then concatenate the two and store it in a variable $strCPrefix
in the following format: ACV-100-000002
.
I believe the $intInc
will need to be cast in order to convert it once incrementing is complete but I am unsure how to do this.
Secondly, I have found that the script will display 000001
as 1
, 000101
as 101
and so on… I need the full 6 digits to be displayed as this will form a file name. How do I keep or pad the numbers before I process the concatenation?
Answer:
1 2 3 4 |
$intInc = 1 $strCprefix = $strprefix + "{0:000000}" -f $intInc # give ACV-100-000001 |
hope can help
