<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a powershell script below. &nbsp;it grabs the latest txt file in a directory and then moves it to another directory. &nbsp;basic copy and paste but only retrieving the latest file.<br />
<br />
In my script i am naming the file a new name when i paste it into the desired folder. &nbsp; I want it to keep the same name that it originally copied. &nbsp;can someone show me how to do this.<br />
<br />
example.. the following scipt may grab a file named dog.txt &nbsp; but it always places this file as recent.txt in the final location. &nbsp;i would like it to keep the original name of dog.txt<br />
<br />
$dst = &quot;\\contoso1\share&quot; &nbsp;# change to your source directory<br />
$src = &quot;C:\Users\john.doe\Desktop<wbr />&quot; &nbsp;# change to your destination directory<br />
$latest = (Get-ChildItem -Path $src -Filter *.txt -File |<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; sort -Property LastWriteTime -Descending | select -First 1).FullName<br />
<br />
Copy-Item -Path $latest -Destination (Join-Path -Path $dst -ChildPath recent.txt) -Force
