Powershell Tip #92: Rename the prefix of files using Insert method

Tip: You have a list of files with a specific prefix and you want to rename that.

For example, here you want to fix a wrong name WORSTATION to WORKSTATION.

#requires -Version 1
Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Demo\Logs' | ForEach-Object -Process {
    Rename-Item -Path $_.Name -NewName ($_.Name.Insert(3,'K'))
}

#requires -Version 1

Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Demo\Logs' | ForEach-Object -Process {

Rename-Item -Path $_.Name -NewName ($_.Name.Insert(3,'K'))
