PowerShell - Renaming a specific file of a certain extension within a folder

[randle]

Hi

 

I'm wondering whether it's possible using PowerShell to rename a file based on it's extension and age!?

 

To explain in a little more detail. I have a folder which contains a number of files called "Text.dll.Date.RandomNumbers.old" however, I only want to rename the latest version of these files. I'm sure there must be a way around it!?

 

I'm thinking it starts with "get-childItem "\\FileLocation\*.old |........"?

Turns out you can do this by using the following code

gci path | sort LastWriteTime | select -last 1
