I'm trying to timestamp the filename of the following command however I'm struggling to get it included.
ping.exe -n 3600 1.1.1.1 | Foreach{"{0} - {1}" -f (Get-Date),$_} >> $ENV:UserProfile\Downloads\pingresult.txt
I want the output to be "202211081006_pingresult.txt"
CodePudding user response:
You can use the same technique you're using for the content of your file for its name too, by using $(...)
, the subexpression operator, and a custom date-time format with -f
, the format operator:
ping.exe -n 3600 1.1.1.1 |
ForEach-Object {
'{0} - {1}' -f (Get-Date), $_
} >> "$HOME\Downloads\$('{0:yyyyMMddHHmm}' -f (Get-Date))_pingresult.txt"
