It searches for a given filename (exact match!) in a given path or multiple paths. Path recursion is also supported. If the file is found, it will be renamed based on a given naming schema. This can be either appending a number up to a given threshold. Or the file creation date, file creation date and time or the file last write date or file last write date and time. .PARAMETER Path One or multiple valid file paths. Each path will be searched for the file specified for 'FileName' parameter. .PARAMETER FileName A filename to serach for in the given paths. .PARAMETER Threshold Default value is 3. The number of files to keep in case the 'Number' naming schema was selected with the 'NamingSchema' parameter. .PARAMETER NamingSchema Default value is 'Number'. One of the following values is possible: 'Number', 'CreationDate', 'CreationDateTime', 'LastWriteDate', 'LastWriteDateTime' .EXAMPLE Invoke-ALHFileRotate -Path C:\temp\testCCC\ -FileName logfile.log -NamingSchema Number -Threshold 9 -Verbose Search for a file with name 'logfile.log' in path 'C:\Temp\testCCC'. If found, files will be renamed to 'logfile_x.log' where 'x' is the number. At maximum 9 versions of the file will be kept. If more exist alreay, the file with the highest number will be deleted. .EXAMPLE Invoke-ALHFileRotate -Path C:\temp\testCCC\ -FileName logfile.log -NamingSchema Number -Recurse -Verbose Search for a file with name 'logfile.log' in path 'C:\Temp\testCCC' and all subfolders ('Recurse'). If found, files will be renamed to 'logfile_x.log' where 'x' is the number. At maximum 3 versions (default value for 'Threshold') of the file will be kept. If more exist alreay, the file with the highest number will be deleted. .EXAMPLE Invoke-ALHFileRotate -Path C:\temp\testCCC\ -FileName logfile.log -NamingSchema LastWriteDateTime -Verbose Search for a file with name 'logfile.log' in path 'C:\Temp\testCCC'. If found, files will be renamed to 'logfile_yyyyMMdd-HHmmss.log' where 'yyyyMMdd-HHmmss' is the file's last modified date. If a file with that name already exists, it will be deleted. .INPUTS Nothing .OUTPUTS Nothing .NOTES Author: Dieter Koch Email: diko@admins-little-helper.de .LINK https://github.com/admins-little-helper/ALH/blob/main/Help/Invoke-ALHFileRotate.txt #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline, Position = 0, HelpMessage = 'Enter one or more path names')] [string[]] $Path, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, HelpMessage = 'Enter exact filename to search for')] [string] $FileName, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'Enter number of files to keep if Number schema is selected.
