  I am trying to rename all the .txt files in the current folder but unfortunately something does not work. Once inside the directory, I run the command and unfortunately nothing happens. I tested few commands:
  
  

  Code:

  $i = 1; gci '{CUR_DIR}' -Filter *.txt | % { Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName ("Document {0:D4}", $_.Extension -f $i++ )}

  
  

  Code:

  $i = 1; gci .\ -Filter *.txt | % { Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName ("Document {0:D4}", $_.Extension -f $i++ )}

  
  

  Code:

  $i = 1; gci -Filter *.txt | % { Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName ("Document {0:D4}", $_.Extension -f $i++ )}

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I tested the command in PowerShell ISE and everything works there. 
  
  

  Code:

  $i = 1; gci 'C:\Users\Andrzej\Desktop\xxx' | % { Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName ("Dokument {0:D4}", $_.Extension -f $i++ )}

  
  Do you have any suggestions?
  
  EDIT
  Already I did it, creating a .ps1 file with this command (then convert to .exe). I run the file in the indicated location, it works

  Hi Endrju,
  
  As for your previous post, this seems to be a PowerShell issue/question, not a QAP issue. I'm not a PowerShell expert. Good if someone has the solution on this forum. But you would probably be more likely to have a solution on a site like https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/powershell

  Jean, you are right there are some PowerShell problems or limitations. I found a solution to the problem, everything works like a charm.
