PowerShell How do I copy a fle with today's date-CodePudding

I want to copy a file and add today's date to its name. I thought it would work like this:

$DATE = Get-Date
    
Copy-Item -Path $HOME\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\wordbook\standard.dic -Destination $HOME\Desktop\standard_$DATE.dic

However, it doesn't. How can it be done?

Try this:

$DATE = Get-Date -UFormat "%m-%d-%Y"
$outname = "standard"   "_"   $DATE
Copy-Item -Path C:\Temp\Test\Testfile.dic -Destination C:\Temp\Test\$outname.dic

Output:

 standard_10-04-2021.dic
