I have a simple ping script that produces an output file at the end to a local folder, the file name contains a variable that pulls the host name of the computer its run on and adds it to the file name. I then want to be able to move this file to another file path but wasn’t how to do with the variable names .txt file.
$H = hostname
cd c:/users
ping ipaddress -n 4 |Foreach{"{0} - {1}" -f (Get-Date),$_} > chosenfolder\$H"DC1!".txt
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tried using the basic copy-item cmdlet but this didn’t work.
>Solution :
If all you are after is to move the file then you can you the mv command in powershell.
$H = hostname
cd c:/users
ping ipaddress -n 4 |Foreach{"{0} - {1}" -f (Get-Date),$_} > chosenfolder\$H"DC1!".txt
mv chosenfolder\$H"DC1!".txt C:\<whatever path>
