# powershell 5.1.17134.48
# dir directory. Include index*,avail* where the last write time is less than

$time = (Get-Date).AddDays(-4)
gci * -include index*,avail* | where {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $time} | format-table -HideTableHeaders Name,Length,LastWriteTime


outputs:



available13.html.2019-03-26_081523.bak  93130 3/26/2019 8  :  10  :  05 AM
index.html.2019-03-26_081538.bak 93134 3/26/2019 8 : 15 : 23 AM


I would like to change Name to this:



available13.html  93130 3/26/2019 8  :  10  :  05 AM
index.html 93134 3/26/2019 8 : 15 : 23 AM


If I use:



$delim = "."
gci * -include *index*,*available13* -Name | `
foreach {
$nameArray = $_.Split($delim)
$newName = $nameArray[0] + "." + $nameArray[1]
Write-Output $newName
}


I get the edited Name with no date limit, no size and no last write time.

I've tried:




  1. gci | gm | oh -paging

  2. two days of google search

  3. a regex (which I am not proficient at yet)

  4. parse gci outfile


It is close. Do I have to take another approach?

          I'd use a RegEx with zero length lookbehind assertion to remove everything after html from $_.Name



          This can be done with a calculated property either in a Select-Object or also in a Format-*



          Get-ChildItem -File | 
          Format-Table @{n='foo';e={$_.Name -replace '(?<=^.*.html).*$'}},Name -HideTableHeaders


          Sample output:



          available13.html available13.html.2019-03-26_081523.bak
          index.html index.html.2019-03-26_081538.bak

            You can add a new property with Add-Member like this



            $time = (Get-Date).AddDays(-4)
            $files = gci * -include index*,avail* | where {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $time}
            foreach ($f in $files) {
            $f | Add-Member noteproperty newName -Value `
            $f.Name.Substring(0, $f.Name.Length - ".yyyy-mm-dd_iiiiii.bak".Length)
            }
            $files | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders newName,Length,LastWriteTime


            Note that the above snippet assumes that your names always end with .yyyy-mm-dd_iiiiii.bak. If they have some other format then you must include that information in the question, and you may need to use other string methods like replace, substring... to remove the unnecessary part

            • Although LotPings did not give me what I asked for, his almost solution was closest to what I ultimately needed, a solution that could be corrected into a one line shortcut. Thanks for taking the time. Yours worked right out of the box.

            index.html 39386 3/26/2019 8 : 10 : 05 AM



            See LotPings answer for the almost solution to the parse:

            everything after html from $_.Name This can be done with a calculated
            property either in a Select-Object or a Format-table". See the corrected solution below.

                      You can add a new property with Add-Member like this



                      $time = (Get-Date).AddDays(-4)
                      $files = gci * -include index*,avail* | where {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $time}
                      foreach ($f in $files) {
                      $f | Add-Member noteproperty newName -Value `
                      $f.Name.Substring(0, $f.Name.Length - ".yyyy-mm-dd_iiiiii.bak".Length)
                      }
                      $files | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders newName,Length,LastWriteTime


                      Note that the above snippet assumes that your names always end with .yyyy-mm-dd_iiiiii.bak. If they have some other format then you must include that information in the question, and you may need to use other string methods like replace, substring... to remove the unnecessary part

                      • Although LotPings did not give me what I asked for, his almost solution was closest to what I ultimately needed, a solution that could be corrected into a one line shortcut. Thanks for taking the time. Yours worked right out of the box.
