Rename multiple files as "Modified Date/Time" using cmd or Powershell
I have hundreds of JPG files in a folder. I want to rename each file so that the file name is replaced with "Modified Date/Time" of that file, namely DD.MM.RRRR.HH.MM.jpg
. For example,
Before After
001.jpg 11.01.2011.16.58.jpg
002.jpg 12.01.2011.09.32.jpg
003.jpg 14.01.2011.12.41.jpg
... ...
Since colon (:) cannot be used in file names, the colon between HH and MM must be replaced with a period.
I don't want to use a 3rd party tool. Can you provide me with the code to achieve this in Powershell or command line?
Try this in Powershell:
Get-ChildItem *.jpg | Rename-Item -newname {$_.LastWriteTime.toString("dd.MM.yyyy.HH.mm") + ".jpg"}
